Hi HN,

I made a lightweight little site that lists 100 simple ways to take a break — things like “go outside,” “breathe,” or “draw a line.” It’s minimal, fast, and works on mobile. No login, no ads, no tracking.

https://100-ways-to-take-a-break.com

This started as a personal side project to fight burnout and screen fatigue. Now I’m sharing it in case others find it helpful too.

Would love any ideas for how to improve it, or more break suggestions you use in your day.thanks

What a simple yet effective website. A few days ago I came across a plugin shared by Marc Lou, which blocks the screen for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. It's good for giving your eyes the break they need. It may be worth looking for it and adding it to your platform. Keep up the good work buddy!

If you have any more thoughts or feedback on how our break feature is working for you (what you liked, what could be improved, or how it compares to others you’ve tried), I’d really appreciate it. Your input will help us build a better and more relaxing experience for everyone. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your kind words and the great suggestion! I’d be happy to explore adding the break plugin you mentioned to the platform — it sounds like a simple yet powerful way to promote healthier screen habits.
