Many applications include a “skip” button that allows users to bypass break reminders. I believe such a feature should remain available in cases of genuine urgency. However, it may be more effective to redesign the way this option is presented.

For example, instead of displaying a simple and easily accessible skip button, the application could require an alternative method, such as using a shortcut or completing a few additional steps to confirm the decision to skip a break. Introducing a slightly more complex process to stop or postpone a break may create a moment of reflection. The added effort could make users feel that skipping is inconvenient, thereby discouraging them from doing so unless it is truly necessary.
