Alternative to Windows' Clock app with finer focus session controls (lemm.ee)

I want an app that reminds me to take a 2 minute break every 30 minutes to rest my eyes. The native clock app doesn't let me choose how many breaks I want to have between my focus session. I am not interested in the features of focus sessions themselves like muting notifications and calls since I don't get any, nor do i want to use a 30 timer on repeat. I like the idea of focus sessions better, however I think it could be even better than how it currently is.

I would prefer to have an app that can do this and have some other clock related features that I can explore and use at my discretion, or be some multipurpose app that also happens to allow use of focus sessions.

How are/were you able to answer all of the questions in such a coherent manner, going as far to properly using markdown for certain responses? (Coming from a person who hasn't had experience with getting high)

I tend to do exactly this whenever I am bored, however I often keep coming up with the same combinations of words.

What I meant was to not rely on objects or scenes near where you are positioned in order to think of something new.

Interesting answer. I admit I often imagine sci-fi scenarios myself without realizing how I am forming original thoughts.

Considering most of our dreams are unique and not really thought of by ourselves at will, I wouldn't count it

Windows and Android apps for downloading and reading textbooks (lemm.ee)

I am in need of reader applications that are specifically optimized for textbooks. I would really appreciate if the application allows to search for and download textbooks directly without being restricted to content within a specific region/country, bookmark pages and have a simple and clean UI, apart from which I do not have any special requirements. I would ideally be looking for an application that can be installed both in my PC and mobile and allow syncing, however it is optional.

When I read about how most of our thoughts are repetitive, I wondered if it would be possible for us to have a thought that is completely new or original by will. Is there some way we can have unique thoughts whenever we wish to?

Please note that this question does not focus on our brain's mental capacity or free will to be able to think of something original. You could think of it something like asking you to paint something original; I am not asking if you are even able to paint in the first place, but instead how you would paint it if you could.

Also you should ideally be able to think of something new completely by your own in your consciously aware and normal self, without relying on external factors like taking inspiration from your surroundings or words from a recent/ongoing conversations, looking at the content open in your device, using any drugs or consumables, being affected by strong emotions etc.
