( I think its every 15 minutes) And be completely in the moment, breathing in and out, for about 10 or 15 seconds. Then they resume what they were doing. They will even stop mid sentence if the bell sounds mid sentence. That was odd for me to experience for the first time.

Anyway, I found a downloadable clock quite a while ago. But I eventually uninstalled it because my computer is very old. So I have to be careful about larger files. This one seemed to take up a bit of space. But it was very good. Quite a reminder to be in the moment. Breathing in and breathing out.
