You may have read my previous review of MacBreakZ, maybe you have heard about RSI or any computer related damages (such as the mouse arm). Today I would like to present you a cool and quite different use of this nifty application.
Use it to become more effective and more concentrated!
MacBreakZ has the ability to force you to make breaks in your work, and it is very flexible and customizable this way. You could do a procrastination dash and do work until the next break hits, then go away from your machine, do some stretches and get some coffee… and after that you may procrastinate or… even get back to work.
I have set my timer to 21 minutes with a 4 minute break. And I find I can keep on working for quite longer than if I would not do any breaks, or irregular ones. The timing is enough to actually get things done, the break is short enough to not get distracted but get some distance and relaxation.
For me MacBreakZ is much more than just a tool to prevent any RSI-like injury… it does help to make me more productive, more concentrated and thus rich and famous and happy. (I guess mostly the latter, but you get the idea…)
