Most of our readers are probably IT-related employees and students, right? As we all know, the "IT" industry is one that can shorten your lifespan. Sitting in front of a computer for long periods, with eyes fixed on the screen, eventually leads to all sorts of health issues! Today, we're going to introduce you to a great little software called Workrave, which claims to "prevent and assist in the recovery of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)."
Workrave allows you to set specific pause, break, and daily time restriction settings. Once the designated time is reached, the system will automatically display a reminder window, play an alert sound, and may even cut off your internet connection. Of course, the most important feature is that Workrave has a built-in exercise system that teaches you how to use proper movements to "prevent and assist in the recovery of Repetitive Strain Injury!"
