Set a cadence
Use 25/5 or 50/10 patterns; set timers or calendar nudges.
Move briefly
Stand, stretch, and look away from screens to reset eyes and posture.
Hydrate and rest eyes
Drink water and use 20-20-20: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Reset focus
Note the next task before break ends to re-engage quickly.
