There are three main reasons for this happening:
- you are quite simply currently using your computer in an especially unhealthy manner and are at a significant risk of RSI injury
- your hand is constantly moving the mouse even when you "rest"; this is an unhealthy habit; it's advisable to take your hand off the mouse whenever possible to prevent an excessive build-up of tension in your hands, arms and most importantly shoulder/ neck.
- you are using an input device, such as tablet or some types of trackball that produce a continuous stream of tiny movements; this isn't great (see writer's cramp) but is usually "okay".
Whatever the reason, there is no point in bombarding you with more breaks than you feel comfortable with at this point. You may just give up completely and that would be the worst case scenario.
Solution 1: if you are simply not ready to take as many breaks as recommended, use the setup assistant and choose the "Prevention" profile combined with an a longer adaptation period.
Solution 2: configure a longer adaptation period, shorter breaks and longer break intervals in the "Preferences..." dialog.
Solution 3: especially if you are using a tablet, configure a more relaxed activity level measurement in the "Activity Monitor" section of the "Preferences..." dialog.
