How the Study Break Activity Picker works
Every suggestion is intentionally screen-free and specific — 'do something relaxing' isn't a real instruction, but '10 jumping jacks' or 'refill your water' is something you can start doing in the next five seconds. Research on attention and focus consistently finds that short, physical or sensory breaks restore focus better than switching to another screen.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why avoid phone/screen suggestions?
Switching to another screen (like scrolling social media) doesn't give your visual attention system the rest it needs the way a screen-free break does, even though it feels relaxing in the moment.
Can I get a suggestion for a specific room or setting?
Not currently — suggestions are general enough to work in most home or office settings.
