Time Out is Key for Computer Geeks

TimeOut, originally uploaded by vincenthorn.

My good buddy and co-worker Duff turned me on to a simple program called Time Out. They recently released a new version (1.5), and it’s very slick. It allows you to take micro breaks, where you stop and turn your attention away from the computer. I like to take that time to do a little meditative rest, simply allowing whatever contraction is happening in awareness to subside, and then after the break is over I get back into whatever work I was doing. There are also longer breaks you can set, so that you make sure and take time in your day (especially if you are on your computer all day) to get away from the box.
