Because the average person spends 7.5 hours on a computer p/day…

It’s easy to do…
…but easy to forget
Luckily there’s an app for that!
Oh and one more thing…
You can set small goals during rests, to make them not disruptive but productive
While working you’re passively coming up with ideas consciously and subconsciously
The rests are also a great time for your mind to actively put together the blocks and plan your next 20 minutes

The 20-20-20 Rule is easy to do, but easy to forget…
How does the 20-20-20 rule work though?

Much movement stops at the computer and eyes get tired for the same reasons your back gets sore.
Looking up refocuses and relaxes eyes, giving close range muscles used for viewing a computer a chance to rest.
