Basically, it runs quietly in the background and forces me to take a break and complete a desk-friendly exercise at regular intervals. Here’s the one I just completed:
After I was done I had a few minutes left, so I spent the rest of the time marching around my house, focusing on my posture and my breathing. When the timer went off I sat down and started working again.
I’m sure there are a million other productivity apps out there, but this happens to be the one I’m trying out right now. I still need to spend a bit more time with it. If you have a good productivity app, I’d love to hear about it!
