As a blogger there are times when I sit in front of my computer, working for a long period of time. Apart from the fatigue I feel at the end of every such session there are other negative aspects of spending a lot of time in front our computer systems.
Firstly the computer chairs of most computer users are not suited for long-time sitting; when we keep up that sitting position for a long time every day, we risk serious damage to our backbone/spine. Also worth mentioning is that sitting like that for so long can affect our posture and look bad when we walk.
Moreover gluing ourselves to our monitors is the perfect way to damage our eyes. There have been countless cases of people with perfect vision ending up with weaker eyesight because they spent too much time looking at their computer monitors continuously.
The hazards of working in front of a computer are well known which is why in some countries laws are now passed to outlaw jobs that require employees to work on computer fulltime (8 hours shifts).
We however have some situations in which there is no alternative but to work on our computers (blogging, for instance). To work on our computers in a healthy fashion we need to take breaks after specific work intervals. Suppose you are going to work on your computer for 5 hours, you decide to take a 10 minute after every 45 minutes. In these 10 minutes, you get up, stretch your legs, walk a little, and after doing all that, you return to work.
This cycle is much like the Pomodoro Technique which stresses that the work-break-work-break cycle increases our productivity. A neat way to directly implement the Pomodoro Technique is to incorporate a great extension titled ChromoDorointo your Chrome browser.

With this extension installed, we can specify our work and break intervals in minutes:

Upon activation of our work cycle, we are presented a notification which states it is time for a break:
The work cycle will re-continue once the break is over.
The cycle can be activated or deactivated by the extension’s icon in the address bar. This icon also displays the number of minutes left in our next break:
If you are somebody who spends a lot of time in front of the computer working, then ChromoDoro will work wonders for you. Employing the Pomodoro Technique will produce more efficient results which will be instantly noticeable.
