Keeps all your planners in one place and keep all your daily tasks organized.

I know there are dozens, even hundreds of calendar apps, habit-tracking apps, and journaling apps out there. Why would anyone want to add another one to the pile? When I first heard about Capsicum, I nearly dismissed it. I decided to give it a try anyway because I liked that it combined three different categories into one, and it’s got an attractive design I can get behind.

Capsicum is an all-around planner that makes it easy to keep track of your day, week, and month, but also lets you keep track of good habits or trying to break bad ones. It’s simple, versatile, and pretty darn good looking.

Best answer: The American Academy of Ophthalmology does not recommend purchasing computer glasses. Though blue-light blocking has been shown to interfere with sleep cycles, there are better ways to prevent eye strain, such as a matte screen filter.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses Are Unnecessary To Prevent Eye Damage

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, there is no evidence to show that your eyes will sustain any damage from your computer screen. The sun is a far greater risk to your eyes than any screen. So if your computer won’t damage your eyes, is there any risk associated with staring at a computer all day? Yes. Eye strain and sleep interference are very real risks for people who spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen. But there are other ways to manage those which do not require computer glasses.

Eye Strain Can Be Prevented Without Special Glasses
