Oh, absolutely no scientific backing, but I wanted to take some
breaks, normally I have exactly one during a day (lunch). And the
standard options in Workrave were just too extreme for me. I managed
to use them a week, but then I just stopped using the whole program.
Never decided that, it just happens on its own :P

Yeah, that would be too hard for me. I have it at something like this now:

- One two-minute microbreak every 1.5 hour.
- One ten minute break every three hours.
- Eight hour PC-time, give me one extra hour three times if I ask for it.

I wrote a blog post about it as well, I did some more tweaking of
Workrave that there is no exposed settings for in the user interface:
