Smart Breaks
Let's be honest — nobody actually remembers to take breaks. You sit down to work on something, and suddenly it's three hours later, your back hurts, and you've been staring at a screen without blinking. Sound familiar?
Clairvoyant keeps track of how long you've been going and gently reminds you to step away. Not in an annoying way — just a nudge at the right moment.
Why Bother?
This isn't just wellness fluff. The research is pretty clear: regular breaks actually make you better at your job.
- Your focus gets sharper - Short breaks reset your attention span
- You think more creatively - Your best ideas often come when you step away
- Your body thanks you - Sitting still for hours is rough on your body
- You avoid burnout - Sustainable productivity beats grinding until you crash
Break Types
| Type | Duration | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Short | 5 min | Quick reset, grab some water |
| Long | 15 min | A proper walk, some fresh air |
| Stretch | 3 min | Get the blood flowing again |
| Walk | 10 min | Step outside, clear your head |
| Meditation | 10 min | Mindfulness, deep breathing |
| Custom | 1-60 min | Whatever you need right now |
How It Works
- It watches the clock - Clairvoyant notices when you've been working non-stop
- It picks the right moment - Break suggestions are based on your work patterns
- It gives you ideas - Not just "take a break" but actual suggestions for what to do
- It doesn't nag - These are gentle suggestions, not pop-up demands. Ignore them if you're in the zone
Break Ideas
When it's time to step away, Clairvoyant might suggest:
- Stretch your neck and shoulders (you're probably tense right now, actually)
- Look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds (your eyes need a break from the screen)
- Get a glass of water (you're probably dehydrated)
- Take a short walk (movement helps you think)
- Practice some deep breathing (resets your nervous system)
