Welcome to the 20-20-20 Rule Reminder!
The 20-20-20 rule is a simple guideline to help reduce eye strain and fatigue caused by prolonged screen time. It suggests that for every 20 minutes spent staring at a screen, you should take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. This practice can help alleviate digital eye strain and maintain healthy vision.
In today's digital age, many of us spend long hours in front of screens, whether it's working on computers, browsing smartphones, or watching TV. This constant exposure to digital screens can lead to symptoms such as eye strain, dryness, blurred vision, headaches, and neck or shoulder pain. Adhering to the 20-20-20 rule can help reduce these symptoms and promote overall eye health.
This application is designed to remind you to take breaks according to the 20-20-20 rule while you're working on your computer. It displays a countdown timer indicating when it's time to take a break. When the timer reaches zero, it prompts you to look away from your screen and take a 20-second break, following the 20-20-20 principle. This simple yet effective reminder can help incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine and protect your eyes from strain and fatigue.
