This will turn it in an infinite loop and also shows random words from a file, so it won't be the same each time and also not just a number.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

Dialog's gauge widget accepts progress updates on stdin. This version runs dialog once and updates it every second. There's no need to use timeout which causes screen flicker since it restarts dialog for each update.

The first parameter after timeout is the key parameter; number of seconds to wait. With a 6 you have 600 seconds for your coffee break (10min).

This will cause a quite big load. Not that clever when you also use your coffee break to compile your code or something else that needs a lot of CPU cycles.

I also enjoy the coffee a lot while working in the office. I love to work in a peaceful place. I also love to interact with coworking near me because they are your work partners and they basically make your work environment.
