Have a Break app
You know the feeling: you just got to the computer, and decided to fire up Tweeter just a bit or catch up with the blogs for a few minutes. Next thing you know, you look at the time and, oh my, how did the time fly so fast? A few hours you won’t get back, wasted. The day is almost over, your eyes are sore and your head hurts a bit after all the information you poured into it.
Have a Break is a possible solution and my first ever Mac Apple OSX app(that is if we don’t consider my many iPhone apps).
It is a free tool that stays in the menu bar; after a predefined time, it’ll cover up the desktop with a black window saying “It’s time you took a small break” which will stay on the screen for a few seconds, after which the process starts over.
You can customize the message to say something more motivational (like ‘Get to work‘, for instance), and you should change the times to suit your working style.
