Time Out 1.5.1 (Mac OS X)

This tool has changed my life!  

My back and neck are better... my eyes are better... and stepping away from the computer for a few minutes is helping me think, create, etc. No more slogging away at a project that just doesn't seem to solve itself! I started out by breaking for just five minutes every 50 minutes, and have gradually worked up. I can now step away for eight minutes without becoming impatient. Also, consider turning the "fade out" time way down. Having your screen fade for 30 seconds (the default) may be as annoying to you as it was for me. If I want to delay or cancel the break, I have to sit there and wait until the options appear. Turning the fade down to about 5 seconds means I can quickly click a button to skip the break if I am doing something that just can't wait. [alert admin]
