+# This is a Python Script which shoots you a reminder every 20 mins to take a break from screen and blink your eyes for 20 seconds looking at an object 20 feet away : 20-20-20 rule for Dry Eyes.
+
+
+## Requirements
+
+For this script to run you need to have playsound package installed
+
+
+```python
+pip3 install playsound
+```
+
+Copy any media file which you want to run as the reminder sound and replace it in the playsound args. Currently it is set as "danger.mp3" which is a local file in my working directory.
+
+
+To run the script, use the following command
+
+``` python
+python3 eye_blink_reminder.py
+```
