Each time opening up the computer, I have to work. I rarely chat or blogging. It seems it has become my habit. So when I need quiet or thinking about something, I usually turn off the screen and look at it attentively. It seems that this method helps me focus and more lucid:) Indeed, the black screen of the computer makes my mind becomes quiet and I can think more than when I'm working with the applications. An off monitor can be a quite time which need for you if you must work frequently on computer.

Instead of the computer monitor, I think you should placed a green plant at the side of your computer. Turning of the computer monitor is too for not exploring to the radiation and the smelling chemical from the hardware for a while. If you stare at the green plant, you are not only can have your mind to relax, but also good for your eyes sight. My friend was working as a programmer in a local Panasonic factory. Every of their working place was provided with a green plant. Every interval, they stopped working and stared at the green plant to rest. I hope you can do the same too.

This sounds like an excellent idea. Being that you are work and perhaps not able to go to a quite and or dark area. I think you have a nice routine going here. Yes I think you are right because this way while thinking peacefully there is nothing in front of you that will be distracting.

Hi. Maybe anything dark triggers something in your mind that let's it relax and e able to focus on your thought processes. I think that every person have their own unique way to this. Some people can feel relax or focus on quiet places, tranquil nature spots, or even on noisy music.

Hello tkonlin Its seems very interesting to see black screen for get relax.I don't know how much its working but I think you should try for some natural place like park or any outside place to get relax.Natural places also gives us more fresh air to make us healthy.But you can't go outside late night then may be your way is more easy else always try to get some fresh air.As we always sit in front of computer so is it not boring to be sit in front of computer for get relax too.
