I have a problem. It's my own fault, I know, but I have a tendency to get so involved in a project, that I forget to save my work periodically, therefore, many times, my program will crash and I'll lose a lot of time and work. Is there any way to have your PC pop up a "don't forget to save" message periodically?

I assumed Dave was talking about tools he uses for content creation. But I could be wrong...
My 3D program, Blender, has a tendency to implode, and especially when painting models, so I'm trying out Butler57's suggestion since I don't have a kitchen timer handy.
The process described at the link is a little different for Win10 and my prompt isn't working as yet.

I got that to work using this string in the arguments section:
"/C TITLE Reminder &ECHO. &ECHO. &ECHO It is currently %TIME% &ECHO. &ECHO. &ECHO Time to save your work. & TIMEOUT -1"
The timeout of 120 didn't work for me but the -1 means it will wait for you to press something.
