Focus Tips
Screen Fatigue
Combat eye strain and mental tiredness from too much screen.
The Problem
After hours of screens your eyes burn, your head aches, and your ability to concentrate craters. Yet the work demands more screen time, creating a downward spiral of fatigue and error.
Strategies to Overcome It
- 1Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- 2Use blue-light filters and slightly dim your display.
- 3Take a real screen-free break every 90 minutes.
- 4Alternate screen tasks with analog ones (printed reading, handwriting).
- 5Adjust font size and contrast for comfort.
Your 2-Minute Action
Look out a window or across the room for 20 seconds, blink slowly ten times, and roll your shoulders. Tiny resets prevent big crashes.
