Take a Break is a petite application you can use to sort of force yourself to take breaks away from your computer after a configurable work time. It works by dividing time into 2 sections: up-time and break-time. Up-time is when your system isn’t active and when that time is up the computer switches to break time during which the screen takes on a handful of display options including screen upside-down, dimmed, and screen saver.
