I seem to be taking my breaks but the ErgoMeter does not go down. What am I doing wrong?
Often, users’ perceptions of their time on the computer differ from the actual activity they’re engaged in on the computer. This is both normal and expected. Careful review of ergonomic data log files, over the past decade, has shown without exception that whenever a user ‘felt’ they were taking a break but were not credited with the break in the ergonomic tool that, in fact, they were still mousing or lightly keying. Try to either completely take a brief break for your own benefit next time. If you feel you’re being alerted too frequently, then you can easily change the sensitivity of the ergonomic tool to meet your expectations.
