Are you a professional worker with computers?

Hi friends,
These days I rarely find time to give a slot of my schedule for blogging. In the past three months i was able to write only thrice. But the response that I do get from various other bloggers(specially IndiBlogger) keeps my spirit always high to write new and think new.
I am back with another helping post.
Just like as usual, let me start with posing questions. :)

• Are you a computer science student (like me?)
• Are you a professional photographer who work on Design software ? (like this cool guy Joshi Daniel , my friend on IndiBlogger)
• Are you a software engineer? or
• Do you work more time on computers?
• Do you often feel your eyes and body stressed?
• Do you forget to get up now and then to stretch?
• Do you ever feel like someone reminding you to relax? (some small mobile software that I created recently for windows phone users Take a break! )

I came up with a beautiful but simple solution.

You can use your computer as a remainder. How?
 We start by using the built in task scheduler in Windows 7/8.

A sample screen after setting up every thing.

Lets start step by step with the help of screen shots.

Start > Task scheduler

In the task scheduler, click create task in the actions pane

Give a name for the task

Lets create a trigger. Click on New.

Fill as per your requirements

The created trigger is as shown.

Now go to the actions tab and create an action.

You can choose among the available actions.

Click on OK

Select the created task and right click > run

This dialogue box appears

Finally exit the Task Scheduler

This trick can be very useful if you normally tend to work for hours with out getting up. The drawback with this is that there is no snooze option available with the Task Scheduler. If you are really involved inthe work you may ignore the message that appears.

Feel free to comment if you need any assistance.
Thank you

Yours
