Break reminder for your children
September 14th, 2005
If your children, just like my older son, love to play with computer all the day, here is a cool tool that might be helpful.
Workrave: The tentative utility of this program is to ensure you to take the necessary breaks to avoid or help recover from RSI (repetitive strain injury). It will monitor your activity and frequently alert you to take micro-pauses, rest breaks and restricts you to your daily limit on computer usage. Micro-pause is a brief moment of relaxation and rest break is a longer break away from the computer.
You can make use of Workrave as a tool to manage your child’s time on using the computer.
I have been using Break Reminder which was a freeware when I installed it on my computers. However, it starts to demand payment recently.
