Most of the time I get so lost that I forget to take breaks and the result is eye strain and extreme dryness by the time I am done with my work.</p> <p>Recently, I learned about the 20-20-20 rule. This rule says that after every 20 minutes of screen-time, take a 20 seconds break and look 20 feet away. I was skeptical at first but boy oh boy has it made a positive impact on my eye health.</p> <p>I was so impressed by the simplicity and effectiveness of this technique that I ended up building an app called <a href="https://lookaway.app">LookAway</a> to remind me to take breaks.</p> <p>If you're facing similar eye issues, then I would definitely recommend the 20-20-20 method. I'd also love to hear if you've found other strategies that help mitigate eye strain. Please share your experiences!</p> productivity beginners discuss
