Do you need reminders to take your micropauses?  Help is at hand! Workrave is free software available from the UC list of approved software programmes.  Workrave frequently alerts you to take micropauses, and rest breaks, and restricts you to your daily limit. It reminds you to take a few seconds to change your posture, (stretch or relax), change your eye focus, (look off into the distance), relax your hands, have a drink of water,  or get up and move. It’s easy to install (see below).

1. Click Start menu -> Software Center
2. Find “Workrave Version 1.10.1”  in the list, select it  and click Install.
