What is Take a Break?
'Take a Break' is a handy Chrome extension designed to facilitate healthier screen habits. It lets you set specific time frames to step back, relax, and return to work refreshed. A notification alerts you when it's time for a break, and gives the choice to either take the break, delay it, or skip it. Its default behavior opens a new tab for every reminder, but can easily be switched to Desktop notifications. Coupled with its highly customizable nature, it serves as a useful tool for maintaining work-life balance.
