Hello Interwebs! My name is Carmen, and I\u2019m the one of the people behind the messages you read here on the Den.<\/p>\n

I want to tell you about a set of Firefox Add-ons (those little bits of software that add functionality to your browser) that my coworker Jess introduced me to that are changing the way I work online.<\/p>\n

We are now a world of people who are plugged-in 24\/7. We\u2019re always looking at our computer screens and our mobile devices. It helps us stay informed, educated and entertained, so it\u2019s a good thing!<\/p>\n

But more and more stories are coming out in the media about how bad it is to sit at our computers\/devices all the time. We need to stay active!<\/p>\n

Guess what? Firefox gives me (and you) solutions, built right into my browser. That makes it easy to do something about it!<\/p>\n

The easiest option is an add-on called Simple Timer.<\/a> It is super customizable and allows you to select when you want to receive a notification. You can set as many as you want. I set it up to alert me every hour as my reminder to get up!<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the Take a Break<\/a> add-on which flashes a little icon every 15 minutes to remind you to take a mini break – close your eyes, look away from the screen, etc. Then a pop-up box will remind you to take a bigger break each hour to stretch, get a drink of water, etc. You can adjust the timers to suit your schedule.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me, you know you need to take a break but you don\u2019t know what to do with yourself. That\u2019s why StretchClock<\/a> holds a special place in my routine. Not only do you get an hourly (that\u2019s customizable) alert, but it gives you a suggested stretch or exercise to get that blood flowing!<\/p>\n

There are so many more add-ons to keep you fit and healthy<\/a>, but these are helping me in my daily routine, so I wanted to share them with you, too!<\/p>\n

As always, if you don\u2019t like an add-on after you install it, or you have questions, here is a support article on how to manage your add-ons.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
