Break schedule
Writes a day of work and breaks out in advance, with lunch in the middle of it.
It runs entirely in this browser tab: nothing you type is uploaded, and nothing here counts down, rings or records.
Settings
- Starts at
- A clock time: 9:30, 09:30 and 9.30 all read.
- Ends at
- An end before the start is a day that runs past midnight, which is a real shift.
- Pattern
- All four are conventions somebody named, not findings: the twenty-five minutes is the length of a tomato timer. Choices: Pomodoro, 50 / 10, 90 / 20, Hourly.
- Lunch
- Minutes, taken in the middle of whatever day you gave rather than at a fixed hour. A number from 0 to 90.
- Add the eye breaks
- The twenty-twenty-twenty rule, which is guidance from the optometry bodies rather than a trial result.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the box above, or open a file.
- Adjust the settings beside it until the result is what you wanted.
- Copy the result, or save it as a file. The result updates as you type.
Questions
- Why is there no click counter or reaction timer?
- Because both are a button and a clock, and this page is a function from one text to one result. A reaction timer that measured a browser's own scheduling delay would be reporting the wrong number confidently, which is worse than not shipping it. All eight of the group's device tools are named on the hub instead.
- Does the break schedule remind me?
- No. There is no clock, no notification and no code here that could make one. What it does is write the day out in advance — work, breaks and lunch in the middle of whatever day you gave — so you can print it or put it in a calendar that does ring.
- Will the printed ruler be the right size?
- It will if your printer does not scale the page, which is what the hundred-millimetre check bar is for: hold a ruler against it. The drawing is an SVG whose width is stated in millimetres, so the size is in the file rather than in the viewer.
- Does the decision matrix tell me what to choose?
- No, and it says so on every result. It multiplies your scores by your weights, which makes your own judgement visible; a matrix that came out the way you hoped is a matrix you weighted. What it adds is how close the top two were.
