Use the timer with one purpose in view.
A useful break should feel different from the focus session but still have a clear boundary. Set a short interval, step away from the current task, move, hydrate, or rest your eyes, then return when the countdown ends. TaskNovae makes breaks easy to time without requiring a separate app or account.

Questions about break timer
How long should a work or study break be?
Five to ten minutes is a common short-break range, while longer focus periods may benefit from a longer recovery period.
What should I do during a timed break?
Choose something restorative such as standing, walking, stretching, getting water, or looking away from the screen instead of starting another demanding task.
