Tips for Best Results
- 💡Share your real meeting pattern so the plan fits the day instead of pretending you have perfect breaks.
- 💡Ask for privacy-friendly versions if you work in an open office.
- 💡Use trigger habits like water refills or calendar transitions rather than relying on motivation.
- 💡Stop any movement that causes sharp pain, numbness, or symptoms that feel unusual.
