Habits
Hourly Movement Snack Alarm
Hourly movement snack alarm fires every fifty to sixty minutes with a pre-chosen walk or mobility snack—so sitting does not run unbroken through the workday.
Hourly movement snack alarm is a recurring phone, watch, or desktop alert every fifty to sixty minutes that forces a stand, walk, or mobility snack before sedentary time compounds. Name the alarm Movement, not a vague break you dismiss.
Pre-decide the snack—stairs, band pull-aparts, hallway lap—so the alarm does not become another decision point. Snooze once if mid-sentence on a call; do the snack right after hang-up.
Pair with desk band drawer stash so equipment is one arm reach away.

Will hourly alarms ruin deep work?
