 +~~NOTOC~~
 +====== xfce4-time-out-plugin - Time Out ======
  
 +Xfce4-time-out-plugin makes it possible to take periodical breaks from the computer at user-configurable intervals (specified in minutes and seconds). During breaks it suspends your screen (for a time period that is also configurable), preventing user input. It optionally allows you to postpone breaks for a certain time.
 +
 +The idea is inherited from [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Attic/drwright|DrWright]], a plugin originating with GNOME.
