You can see the pit stop notifications shown in WORK & MOVE below.
This is a brief pit stop, with the aim of giving you more energy. During an Energiser, you keep concentrating on your work, but let go of your mouse and keyboard for 5 to 10 seconds. We recommend following the advice shown during an Energiser. Energisers are denoted by the battery icon.
This is a somewhat longer pit stop (of 2 to 3 minutes). Your concentration levels cannot remain optimal continually. WORK & MOVE periodically offers you mental and physical exercises based on time management principles to relax your focus briefly. You can recognise a concentration boost by the lamp icon and it contains various tips and advice, see the examples below.
You decide which tips and advice are shown as the content of a Concentration boost. Via Settings - Tips settings, you get the options below to view the contents of one determine concentration boost.
WORK & MOVE analyses 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 will offer you a Time-out. See example.
If you have an electric sit-stand desk connected, you will also have all the SitStand coaching functionalities at your disposal. WORK & MOVE has 3 kinds of SitStand 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.
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). After 10 minutes have lapsed, the advice to change position is displayed again.
The advice below is displayed when you start WORK & MOVE 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 at your desired height setting?’
If there is no electric sit-stand desk connected, you are shown the following advice. WORK & MOVE 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.
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.
The status panel shows your current position (sitting or standing), your current desk height, and current time active in relation to your set goal.
The circle turns green as the time (5:55 minutes in this case) to the set goal (30 minutes) advances. You have the option to change position prior to your set goal of 30 minutes. The desk height is only shown if an electric sit-stand desk is connected. You can hide or override this status panel by clicking close.
You can bring up the status panel by clicking the WORK & MOVE icon in the Windows language bar with your right mouse button and then selecting ‘Show status’.
