Breathing Exercise
A guided minute of calm. Pick a pattern, press start, and follow the
circle: it grows as you breathe in and shrinks as you breathe out.

Two honest minutes of this beats twenty minutes of "taking a break" in a feed. The reset actually resets. That's the same idea behind how Hawser treats breaks: real rest is protected, drift is caught.
Hawser is an accountability companion for your PC: it knows what you meant to do today, stays out of the way while you do it, and steps in kindly when a pause turns into a spiral.

Box breathing (4-4-4-4) is used everywhere from athletics to high-stress jobs as a quick way to settle the nervous system before or after a tense moment. 4-7-8 pairs a short inhale with a long, slow exhale; the extended exhale is what most people find calming, and it's popular as a wind-down before sleep. These are common relaxation techniques, not medical treatment; if you feel dizzy or lightheaded, stop and breathe normally.
