Resting their eyes is one those crucial activities most people don’t do. I admit that I often forget about them too.

But I can tell you that doing any near point activities, for a prolonged period of time, is harmful for you eyes. That includes staring at your monitor, watching tv, cooking, housework, reading and so on. You get the idea.

The rule is to dedicate 1 minute to rest your eyes for every 10 minutes of work. I generally opt to rest 3 minutes for every 30 minutes.

Yes, I know sometimes the ball is rolling and you’re so engrossed working that if you stop, you’ll lose your momentum. This is a huge I discovered by trying to take a break.

Most of us when engrossed would work for hours, non-stop. What you didn’t know is that your productivity slowly decreases over time. Some productivity gurus teach a series of alternate engage-disengage to maximize results.

Work 2 hours. Stop 30 minutes. And so on. I personally found 30 minutes – 3 minutes cycle works better for me. Try it and see.

So what do I do in that 3 minutes of rest? I simply look out the window and get my eyes see as far as possible. If I’m in an enclosed area, I palm. This habit alone has been a great boon in my efforts to rebuild my vision.

I learned this technique from the Rebuild Your Vision Program and it is just one of the many Orlin revealed inside. It’s no wonder that it’s working so well.
