<\/p>\n

A customer asked how to add a reminder to stand up and sit down<\/a>, without blocking them from working, in the \/r\/Dejal community on Reddit<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I want to use time out to automatically start a 45 min timer when i log in , and after that time display a message stand up (but let me continue working), and then once i stood up for 15 minutes display a message sit down. (total time 60 min) one cycle. this i want to repeat all time i am working in the computer. is this possible?<\/p>\n

I know where to set the message, but if i set the time out to 15 minutes, it doesn\u2019t let me continue work during those 15 minutes, as it freezes the screen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The easiest way to achieve this is to use a single break that has a duration of zero (which doesn\u2019t dim the screen when the break is due), and a freqeuncy of every 1 hour:<\/p>\n

\"Break<\/p>\n

Then add a couple of notifications on the Break Actions<\/strong> page; one 15 minutes Before Due<\/strong> to say to stand up, and another zero minutes Before Due<\/strong>\u00a0to say to sit down:<\/p>\n

\"Break<\/p>\n

This will show the \u201cstand up\u201d notification after 45 minutes, then the \u201csit down\u201d notification 15 minutes later, and repeat throughout the day.<\/p>\n
