Workrave uses activity and configured intervals to prompt pauses during computer work. Choose a realistic schedule and review whether prompts lead to actual breaks, rather than making interruption frequency the only measure of a useful routine.
Begin with reminder intervals that fit your work pattern and adjust them after observing a normal week. Use a brief break to change activity rather than merely dismissing the prompt. Review statistics to see whether reminders are practical, and avoid treating the settings as personalized medical guidance.
