Doing computer work for a long time can be bad for your health (ie wrist, neck, eye strain) so its good to take a break once in a while.

Too workaholic to take a break or know when to take one? Ubuntu’s Typing Break is a nifty little tool that locks up the screen so that you’ll be able to take a much needed break.

To turn it on, Go to System>Preferences>Keyboard in menu bar and go to the Typing Break tab.

Click the box next to “Lock screen to enforce typing break”

You can then adjust the times and allow break postponement if you are doing something time crucial.
