The Pomodoro Technique is created by Francesco Cirillo for a more productive way to work and study. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a Pomodoro, from the Italian word for ‘tomato’, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student. – Wikipedia
How to use the Pomodoro Timer?
Add tasks to work on today
Set estimate pomodoros (1 = 25min of work) for each tasks
Select a task to work on
Start timer and focus on the task for 25 minutes
Take a break for 5 minutes when the alarm ring
Iterate 3-5 until you finish the tasks
Step1:
Download CareUEyes and follow the demo to turn on the timer feature.
Example #6 (2) The number 6 indicates that a total of 6 Pomodoro clocks have been completed. The number 2 in parentheses indicates that it is currently the second Pomodoro clock. If you set the long break cycles for 4 Pomodoro clocks, Then when the 4 Pomodoro clocks are completed, the numbers in parentheses will be recalculated starting from 1
Note: If you want to break the routine and take a short break in seconds, you can switch the time unit.
Tips: How to Use the Pomodoro Technique to Make the 20-20-20 Rule? 1. Turn on the Pomodoro Technique mode 2. Set the rest interval to 20 minutes 3. Set the short break time to 20 seconds (adjust the unit to seconds) 4. Set the long break time to 5 minutes 5. Set the long break cycles to 3 pomodoros (20*3=60 minutes)
The Advanced Color API is a term used by Windows developers. It uses GPU rendering and supports high dynamic range (HDR), wide color gamut (WCG), and high-precision (bit depth) visual content such as videos, games, and photos. Compared with the Color API, the Advanced Color API has better compatibility and performance.
CaeUEyes calls the Color API by default when adjusting the color temperature and brightness, but the Color API cannot work on some devices and must enable the Advanced Color API. Since it is impossible to accurately identify which devices need to enable the Advanced Color API, there may be a problem that CareUEyes does not work properly on some users’ computers because the Advanced color API features are not enabled.
In order to solve this problem, after the user newly installs CareUEyes, a pop-up will ask the user whether CareUEyes is working properly. If CareUEyes is not working properly, the Advanced Color API will be enabled.
However, there is a shortcoming when the Advanced Color API is enabled. It will cause the color of the picture to turn yellow when taking a screenshot, such as a screenshot below.
Therefore, it is recommended that for users who have enabled the advanced color API, it is best to set a hotkey to quickly disable and enable CareUEyes. You can use the hotkey to disable CareUEyes before taking the screenshot, and then use the hotkey to enable CareUEyes after the screenshot is completed, so that the color of the screenshot will not be distorted.
A little advantage over your enemies may be all you need to win the game. Cranking up your digital vibration will improve contrast and make it easier to spot enemies in the darker parts of the map.
What is the digital vibrance
Using Digital Vibrance (NVIDIA) or Saturation (AMD) in your graphic card driver can add an additional blast to your gaming experience due to more colourful images being output to your monitor. Digital Vibrance/Saturation might give you an advantage in games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as it will ease spotting enemies in the game.
Using VibranceGUI
VibranceGUI is an application that automates NVIDIAs Digital Vibrance Control (“DVC”) by utilizing the NVIDIA Driver API. AMD support for automating Saturation has been added.
Using Digital Vibrance (NVIDIA) or Saturation (AMD) in your graphic card driver can add an additional blast to your gaming experience due to more colorful images being output to your monitor. It might even give you a slight edge when playing competitively in games like CS:GO.
The use of these settings comes with a huge downside though. Whenever switching out of a game back to Windows, the colors are still vibrant and don’t fit in the appearance of Windows. This happens because both settings will be applied system-wide. Luckily for you, this is where vibranceGUI comes into play.
Digital Vibrance/Saturation might give you an advantage in games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as it will ease spotting enemies in the game. Many professional players use Digital Vibrance/Saturation nowadays. Some examples: GeT_RiGhT, f0rest, friberg, ScreaM. However, changing the setting manually in NVIDIAs or AMDs Control Panel after quitting CS:GO is annoying and that’s why I decided to create this tool
VibranceGUI is a small piece of software that allows us to set different levels of Vibrance for our games without messing with the Vibrance of Windows. It also sets the digital vibrance only for the programs we want (only games, not our desktop or browser) and we can set it to run onnce we boot our computer. To set up VibranceGUI for CSGO we have to open the program and click on the Add manually button. Then we just have to navigate to our Steam folder and find the csgo.exe file and select it.

The rapid development of the information age has made people more and more dependent on electronic equipment. We need to use computers to work, study, process emails, watch videos, and we cannot do without computers. Have you ever calculated how long you are staring at the screen every day? Investigations show that some people face electronic screens for more than 9 hours a day.
As we rely more and more on electronic screens, our eyes are unknowingly hurt. Do you feel your eyes are dry and astringent, and you can’t help but want to rub them with your hands? Or, occasionally feel a little blurred vision? Sometimes you even feel a headache.
In fact, this is a symptom of “Computer Vision Syndrome”. Other consequences include neurological symptoms such as chronic headaches and musculoskeletal problems such as neck and back pain. If you have not taken effective measures to protect your eyes, your work efficiency may be affected when the eye symptoms become severe.
Eye health is important to everyone. We should take measures to protect our eyes from computer screens, instead of waiting for eye diseases to be treated.
Here are 6 ways to protect eyes from computer screen.
1. Reduce blue light
We can see the picture displayed on the computer screen because the computer screen emits light. But the light emitted by the computer screen is more dazzling than natural light, and it also contains a lot of blue light that is harmful to the retina.
Blue light is light with a relatively high energy wavelength between 400nm and 480nm. It is part of the visible spectrum and can penetrate the lens directly to our retina, causing the atrophy or even death of retinal pigment epithelial cells. The death of light-sensitive cells will result in decreased vision or even complete loss of vision. This damage is irreversible.
Blue light can also cause macular degeneration. The lens of the human eye will absorb part of the blue light and gradually become cloudy to form cataracts, and most of the blue light will penetrate the lens, especially children’s lenses are clearer and cannot effectively resist the blue light, which is more likely to cause macular degeneration and cataracts.
Due to the short wavelength of blue light, the focus point does not fall on the center of the retina, but a little bit forward from the retina. To see clearly, the eyeballs will be in a state of tension for a long time, causing visual fatigue.
You may experience symptoms such as eye fatigue, headache, blurred vision, dry eyes, neck and shoulder pain.
It is a good way to use blue light filter software to reduce blue light and protect eyes from computer screen.
CareUEyes is one of the best blue light filter software. It filters blue light by adjusting the color temperature and supports free adjustment of the blue light filter intensity.
According to the most commonly used scenes in people’s daily life, eight preset modes are designed and the most suitable color temperature and brightness are configured for each mode. They are health, games, movies, office, editing, reading, customization, and pause modes.
2. Keep a proper distance from the computer screen
We should keep a proper distance from the computer screen when using the computer. If the distance is too far, you will not be able to read the screen correctly. If it is too close, your eyes will tire easily.
What is the ideal distance from the screen? A simple rule is to keep the screen at least one arm away from your arm and pay attention to adjusting the height of the desk and chair so that the line of sight is about 6-8 inches above the center of the screen. In addition, when looking straight ahead, your eyes should be flush with the top of the display.
This keeps our eye muscles in the most comfortable and relaxed state.
3. Don’t forget to blink
Under normal circumstances, the average person blinks 10 to 20 times per minute. Don’t look at it as a small gesture, the effect of blinking one’s eyes cannot be underestimated.
Blinking can make tears evenly distributed on the surface of the cornea so that the cornea will not become dehydrated and dry. The main function of blinking is to protect the eyeball and moisturize the cornea. But when we concentrate on looking at the computer screen, the blink rate will be greatly reduced, only blinking 3 to 8 times per minute. Therefore, many people experience dry and sore eyes after using the computer for a long time.
Don’t forget to blink your eyes after you concentrate on your work for a while. This will help keep your eyes moist and protect your eyes from computer screeen.
4. take regular breaks
It is recommended to follow the famous “20-20-20” principle. This principle is to raise your eyes and look 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds every time you look at the screen for 20 minutes.
Stay away from the computer and focus on distant things, such as trees outside windows or office corridors. Close your eyes gently, then squeeze and hold for a while, then open and relax them.
You can also do eye exercises during rest time, which can help relieve eye fatigue and make your eyes feel better.
However, many people often forget to take regular breaks due to their busy schedules. CareUEyes can remind you to take breaks regularly. It is not a simple timer, it is far more intelligent than you think.
CareUEyes can intelligently analyze the time you use the computer, and when you actually work on the computer for the predetermined time, it will remind you to take a break.
For example, if you set a 20-minute break, but you temporarily leave the computer 5 minutes after you start to work due to other things, CareUEyes will pause the timer after you stop using the computer, and then resume the timer when you return to the computer to start working. If you have been away for a long time and have not returned to work, CareUEyes will restart the timer after you return to work.
Adjust the brightness and contrast on the computer screen. Don’t make your screen too bright, because the brighter the screen, the more blue light will be emitted, and too bright screen light is also a direct stimulus to the eyes, which can easily lead to eye fatigue.
For many computer screens, especially desktop screens, it is not easy to adjust the screen brightness. It may be difficult for you to find the entrance to adjust the brightness, but using CareUEyes can easily adjust the brightness of the screen. You can either use the progress bar on the program interface to make adjustments or use the hotkeys to make adjustments.
If you often read pure text on the screen, you can try to set the screen to a black and white electronic ink style. At night, you can also reverse the color of the screen and turn a large area of white background into black. The eyes are more comfortable.
CareUEyes’ reading mode and editing mode can help you achieve these two features.
6. Reduce glare
Change the bulbs to soft/warm varieties to create a comfortable lighting environment. Try to avoid placing the monitor under the lamps, because bright lights are most likely to cause glare. If you are really sitting directly under the light fixture, please dim the light. Turn off any lights behind the display, such as desk lamps.
Do not let your monitor face the window, because the bright light outside the window can easily cause glare. The ideal display position is 90 degrees to the window. But if you cannot adjust your position, please close the blinds or draw the curtains during the day to reduce glare.
Pay more attention to the prevention of eye diseases rather than treatment
Overall, you need to protect your eyes from many aspects. The eyes are very important organs for us to obtain information from the outside world. Everyone should take good care of their eyes and focus on preventing eye diseases rather than treating eye diseases. Download CareUEyes and protecting your eyes from now on. There is nothing easier than downloading and installing software.
Blue light, also referred to as high-energy visible light, ranges from 400 to 500 nanometers. This is low on the visible spectrum, closer to the harmful end. It can penetrate the lens directly to our retina.
where does blue light come from?
Blue light exists not only in sunlight, but also in various electronic screens such as computer monitors, fluorescent lamps, mobile phones, digital products, LED displays, and projectors.
Why is blue light bad?
The main hazard of blue light is eye damage. The specific hazards are as follows:
1. Age-related macular degeneration：
The most significant damage caused by blue light to the human eye should be caused by Age-related macular degeneration, accompanied by decreased vision.
2. Digital eye fatigue:
Blue light is easier to scatter than other visible light and is not easy to focus on. This visual “noise” when looking at digital devices reduces the contrast and causes digital eye fatigue. You may experience eye fatigue, headache, blurred vision, dry glasses, neck and shoulder pain.
3. Blue light can cause damage to the fundus after cataract surgery.
4. Insomnia
All artificial light affects sleep, but among all kinds of artificial light, blue light has the greatest effect on sleep. Excessive exposure to blue light at night will inhibit the production of melatonin in the body. Insufficient secretion of melatonin in the human body will make it impossible to fall asleep, which causes insomnia.
9 ways to protect your eyes from blue light
1. Use blue light filter software
For people who need to use the computer for a long time every day, using blue light filter software is a very good choice.
CareUEyes is an excellent comprehensive eye protection software that filters blue light by adjusting the color temperature. The lower the color temperature, the less blue light emitted by the screen.
In addition, CareUEyes also has the feature of adjusting screen brightness and timing lock screen reminder to rest. They can use the forced rest mode to rest for those who with poor self-control and unable to rest on time.
CareUEyes has 8 preset modes, allowing you to quickly find the screen color temperature and brightness that suits you. You can also modify the preset modes and customize your own model.
CareUEyes also has sunrise and sunset feature, you can set the different color temperatures and brightness for day and night, CareUEyes will automatically switch between sunrise and sunset. Compared with the daytime, more blue light needs to be filtered at night to avoid affecting sleep.
2. Reduce eye use time and take regular rest
If we stare at the mobile phone and computer for more than ten hours a day, our eyes will suffer long-term damage from high-energy blue light radiation.
After using your eyes for a period of time, you can blink your eyes or rest your eyes more to reduce the time of eye use. The most useful at the moment is the 20-20-20 rule.
For every 20 minutes of using the screen, you should try to move your sight 20 feet away from you for a total of 20 seconds. You might say, how can I tell where is 20 feet? Actually, you don’t need to be so precise. You just need to look far away as much as possible, such as looking at the scenery outside the window, walking in the office corridor, or standing up and stretching, looking at the distance, and then pour a glass of water.
Regular rest can provide your body with agility and improve work efficiency. The eye care software CareUEyes can simplify these steps. It allows you to perform these steps more easily without stress
The anti-blue lens has a special coating to filter some blue light. One advantage of blue light glasses is that they can also filter the blue light emitted by the sun, TV, and LED lights.
4. Replace LED lights with incandescent lamps
Led lights emit a lot of blue light. It is recommended to use incandescent lamps because incandescent lamps do not flicker and there is very little blue light in the spectrum.
5. Use screen filters
Screen filters can be used on most models of laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. These filters can be easily installed on the device without damaging the original manufacturer’s screen or interfering with touch sensitivity. If your child uses a computer to play games or do homework, these features are particularly useful, because, without supervision, the child is less likely to wear blue-light blocking glasses, but it is not portable enough and more expensive, different manufacturers’ Screen filters will also have varying degrees of quality differences
6. Do not try to use the device directly before going to bed
Excessive exposure to blue light can cause restlessness and insomnia. Set a limit to turn off the device at least one hour before bedtime and charge the device in another room so that you don’t try to turn it back on.
7.Intraocular lens (IOL)
After cataract surgery, the cloudy lens will be replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). The lens naturally protects the eye from almost all ultraviolet light and some blue light. There are types of IOL that can protect the eye and retina from blue light.
8. Eye nutrition
By eating foods or supplements rich in key nutrients, you can support the natural protection of your eyes. Lutein and zeaxanthin are naturally found in foods such as spinach, kale, and other green leafy vegetables. Nutritional supplements can also be used to ensure adequate daily intake.
Michael A. Smith, MD, said: “Natural retinal antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin cannot regenerate fast enough to keep up with the harmful blue light that destroys the surrounding environment.” “We all quickly become deficient in lutein. . And because blue light-emitting devices are useless, the risk of macular degeneration is also increasing. Daily supplementation of lutein and zeaxanthin must maintain macular pigment density.”
9. Check your eyes regularly
The optometrist recommends that people in their 40s have an eye exam every two years and discuss with an eye care professional about the choice of ways to protect their family and eyes from blue light
Editor’s Choice: Blue Light Filter Software
Blue light filter software is your best choice, why? First of all, it is very portable. You don’t need to worry about whether it matches the size of your display. Second, you can customize the intensity of the blue light filter. After all, everyone’s sensitivity to light is different. In addition, it is better than other solutions. To be cheap and reliable, you can download the blue light filter software CareUEyes from here
