The Healthy Accountant Part Two

As part of the need to move around more often, we may need to be reminded to move around. Often, our focus on a spreadsheet may preclude our ability to remember the need to get up after an hour or so.

Is there an app for that? Several in fact. Rather than covering reviews, we’ll look at some of the features that reviewers mentioned.

A Snooze button: While the objective is to get up and move, sometimes that 90 minute timeline does not fall at a convenient time. If you are close to getting the final numbers or have just a few minutes to complete a project, the option to postpone your stretch break by a few minutes rather than a complete new cycle could be a much needed feature.

Other issues reviewers mentioned are battery, being able to see the app in the dark and audible alerts. A very important feature to consider is what happens when there is a deluge of inactivity. Do the alerts stop once the inactivity bar is full?

There are a number of options available for both Android and iPhones. There are even posts about creating reminders in Windows. The important part is to “Just Do It.”
