WINDOWS 10 BREAK REMINDER APP INSTALL

Install Plyer using pip: pip install plyer or python -m pip install plyer.If you don’t have Python, get it from (either of Py2 or P圓 is fine) and add it to the Path variable (optional).This is what it looks like when the script starts runningįollowing are the steps to get the above script working (I am using Windows 10, but with minor changes, this should work on Linux and Mac too) With some little configuration, it pops up a notification whenever you logon to your computer, and every 20 mins thereafter.

This is where a small script that I wrote (which I like to call as Healthifier) comes to the rescue. Oh, and I keep my water bottle away from my desk! But how does one remind oneself to keep taking breaks? I started small by following the popular and simple 20–20–20 rule, which states “Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.” Additionally, every hour, I stand up and walk for a few minutes. This state of focus and involvement can be exciting and rewarding, but overdoing it can harm us in the long run, resulting in health issues such as weight gain, poor posture, weakened or stiff muscles and dry eyes. It is just too easy to forget taking a break while working on solving paramount issues, creating the next big thing and especially when we are in Flow. Probably you have been sitting on your computer for too long. Are your eyes feeling sore, itchy and dry? Does your back, neck or legs hurt? Are you having frequent headaches?
