How to make sure you take regular breaks and give your eyes some rest at work

We are all working tirelessly and we know it's important for us to give our eyes a break. Sometimes we only realize how good it feels once you actually take the break.

20-20-20 rule

A simple rule is to give your eyes a 20 second break every 20 minutes by focusing on something 20 feet away.

How do you remember to do this?

Let your work remind you.. I'm guessing you work with computers and browsers.. Open protectyourvision.org and set it up to pop up a reminder to take a short eye break.

I personally like to take few more seconds and just keep my eyes closed.

Finally you can also set up a 5 minute break every 60 minutes rule or try a customized one.

Keep this tab open in a new window if you use Chrome browser and already have several other tabs open because Chrome like to refresh the tab in such cases. A new window dedicated to a site prevents that.
