+ Typing for a long period of time can be not only tiresome, but it can also increase
the risk of serious health problems, such as the carpal tunnel syndrome. One way of
preventing this is to configure the system to enforce the typing break. Simply select
<menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guisubmenu>Preferences</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Keyboard</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
from the panel, click the <guilabel>Typing Break</guilabel> tab, and check the
<guilabel>Lock screen to enforce typing break</guilabel> box.

+ To increase or decrease the amount of time you want to be allowed to type before
the break is enforced, click the up or down button next to the <guilabel>Work
interval lasts</guilabel> label respectively. You can do the same with the
<guilabel>Break interval lasts</guilabel> setting to alter the length of the
break itself. Finally, check the <guilabel>Allow postponing of
breaks</guilabel> if you want to be able to delay the break in case you need to
finish the work. The changes take effect immediately.

+ Next time you reach the time limit, you will be presented with a screen advising
you to take a break, and a clock displaying the remaining time. If you enabled it, the
<guibutton>Postpone Break</guibutton> button will be located at the bottom
right corner of the screen.

+ Although it can reduce the risk of a wrist injury, enforcing the typing break can
also cause troubles on its own. Having to struggle with a locked screen every time you
want to finish a sentence can interrupt the natural flow of your thoughts, not to mention
decrease your productivity.
