During today’s break from work, I took a walk outside with my kids. It was cold, but seeing them play and having the sun shine on my face, I immediately felt relief and joy.
What’s your favorite way of taking a break from anything digital these days?

The agency I work in has UK, US and Canadian clients so I work from 2 PM till 11 PM, that's 9 hours but we have lots of breaks like prayers, dinners and what not. I wake up at about 11 AM, do a good one hour workout and make breakfast, start going to office at 1 PM and listen to audiobook on the way to office.
After reaching the office, making coffee and settling in, it is 2 PM. Well, I don't take a lot of breaks TBH but I think I should. My head hurts today because of it and our CEO told us to take breaks too.
Do you know about what Pomodoro Technique is?
Yes, I do. And it might be helpful setting these time slots when you have trouble taking a break.
Ahan, yeah makes sense. Thanks for the tip man!
One tool that helps is a virtual or even physical timer, like this:

Hey, what do you think about a browser extension for Pomodoro Technique? I've got experience with developing browser extensions. We can create an open source project and collaborate.
Interesting idea. Unfortunately, I'm already very busy with all my side projects, so I would be in serious trouble if I started another one. Sorry :-)
No problem, looked into your profile, you're a senior developer already. Maybe you could refer someone else? I mean a junior developer like me. I can do it on my the project on my own but I'd much prefer collaboration based project because I'm sure it will have more exposure and a lot to learn!
I'll let you know whenever I make progress with it and release it on Chrome Store. Here is my Linkedin. No pressures though, have a great day!
If it's sunny, I'd like to stare out the window and bathe in the sun for a few minutes 🌞
I love shopping. Sometimes I shop online with all deals from couponforless.com/. I also love listening to music or reading books. If I have enough time I spend on travelling.
