Today’s Focus

The 20-20-20 Rule

If you spend a lot of time on screens, try this: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

👀 This tiny habit helps reduce eye strain, prevent headaches, and refresh your focus during long work or study sessions.

Why It Works

Our eyes weren’t designed to stare at glowing screens for hours at a time. Shifting your gaze to a distant object relaxes the eye muscles, prevents fatigue, and gives your brain a quick reset. Over time, it can also improve your ability to stay energized and focused throughout the day.

📌 Quick Challenge — Set a timer or reminder today to practice the 20-20-20 rule during your screen time. Bonus: combine it with a big stretch!
