Types of pit stops
You can see the types of pit stop notifications shown in WORK & MOVE Coach below.
Energizer
EnergizerThis is a brief pit stop, with the aim of giving you more energy. During an Energizer, you keep concentrated on your work, but have to let go of your mouse and keyboard for a moment. We recommend following the advice shown during an Energizer. Energizers are denoted by the battery icon.
Concentration boost
Concentration boostThis is a somewhat longer pit stop (of 4 to 6 minutes). Your concentration levels cannot remain optimal continually. WORK & MOVE Coach periodically offers you mental and physical exercises based on time management principles to relax your focus briefly. You can recognize a Concentration boost by the lamp icon. It contains various tips and advice. Content displayed in the Concentration boost changes every ~30 seconds, as shown in the example below.
Time-out
Time-outWORK & MOVE Coach analyzes whether you have had a period of at least 10 (cumulative) minutes of non-DSE work during a 2-hour period of continuous DSE work. If not, WORK & MOVE Coach will offer you a Time-out. See example. Content displayed in the Time-out changes every ~30 seconds.
(Video) call
(Video) callWORK & MOVE Coach tracks your time in (video) calls and can show dedicated Video boosts and Video energizers during or after a call. While you’re in a call, all other pit stop types are dimmed, except sit-stand notifications.
Sit-stand notifications
If you have an electric sit-stand desk connected, you will also have all the sit-stand coaching functionalities at your disposal. WORK & MOVE Coach has 3 kinds of sit-stand pit stops notifications:
Scenario 1: if you have an electric sit-stand desk connected
Scenario 2: if you have an electric sit-stand desk that is not connected
Scenario 3: if you are using a standard desk.
Scenario 1
These sit-stand notifications are shown if you have an electric sit-stand desk connected.
If this advice comes at an inconvenient time, select 'Snooze' (and delay the advice for a period of 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 1 hour).
If you continue working, the 'Snooze' circle (top right) will start filling up. After continuing to work for 25 seconds, the notification closes automatically and snoozes for a period of 10 minutes (in this case). When the 10 minute snooze period has lapsed, the advice to change position is displayed again.
The advice below is displayed when you start WORK & MOVE Coach and the sit-stand desk connected is not set to a sitting or standing height selected by you. The software recognises this and asks 'Would you like to sit or stand using your preferred height setting?'
Scenario 2
If there is no electric sit-stand desk connected, you are shown the following advice. WORK & MOVE Coach will still continue to show you reminders to exercise at specific times (which you select yourself in your profile settings), or to alternate between a sitting and standing position.
The sit-stand notifications below are displayed if you have an electric sit-stand desk which is not connected. When you receive the 'Time to stand up' notification, you confirm you have stood up by clicking the 'I am standing' button. After x minutes, (depending on your profile settings), you receive the 'Time to sit down' notification. You confirm you have sat down by clicking the 'I am sitting' button.
Scenario 3
The notification below is shown if you are using a standard desk. We invite you to leave your workstation at set times and to take a short walk.
