Make your next screen break a movement break
A practical way to make room for movement during screen-heavy days.
Finishing a task is an easy moment to notice how long you have been sitting. A break does not need to become another performance goal: give yourself a different activity before returning to the screen.
What the sources say
WHO recommends limiting sedentary time and replacing some of it with movement. [1]
HSE recommends frequent short breaks or changes of activity during screen work. [2]
A small idea to try
- Choose a natural stopping point, such as finishing a call.
- If suitable for you, leave the screen and walk somewhere nearby.
- Choose reminders that fit your day; adjust them when they become easy to ignore.
Keep in mind
General information, not diagnosis or treatment. Persistent or worsening symptoms need an individual assessment by a qualified health professional.
Raffi can help you remember a routine; its reminders and progress records do not prove a medical benefit.
