About

Desk breaks can be small and practical—simple cues that support comfort during focused work.

Desk Reset shares neutral ideas for short movement breaks: gentle stretches you can do in regular clothing, posture checks that take a few seconds, and simple ways to reduce the feeling of being “stuck” at a desk.

Everything is optional. Move within your comfort range, keep it calm, and stop if anything feels unpleasant.

Breaks

Three gentle break ideas that fit between tasks.

Neck & shoulders

Roll shoulders slowly, then let the head tilt gently side to side. Keep the motion small and comfortable.

Standing reset

Stand up, take a few slow breaths, and shift weight from foot to foot. Add a short walk if it feels good.

Hands & wrists

Open and close your hands gently, circle wrists slowly, and relax your grip on the mouse or trackpad.

Setup

Neutral tips for a calmer workspace and steadier posture.

Keep your screen at a comfortable height and distance. Small adjustments can make long sessions feel easier.

Use simple cues: a water refill, a calendar check, or the end of a task can be a natural moment to stand up.

Keep movement light. A brief stretch or a short walk is often enough—no need for intensity or strict timing.
