Frequently Asked Questions

How can I reduce eye strain during long translation sessions?

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to relax your ciliary muscles.

What is the best way to reset my brain between language blocks?

A non-screen, brisk walk outside is ideal. The change in visual depth and physical movement helps clear cognitive load and improves focus for the next block.
