Dialog for concentrate

have_a_break_with_dialog.scpt
(*
This script is meant to run at the end of a Concentrate activity. It gives you a choice to start another activity, or choose between two activities, or you can choose not to start a new activity. The idea is that you can run a Pause activity after a work activity. This scipt would be run at the end of the work activity. There is a companion script to be run at the end of a break activity, which automatically starts the work activity again. Or you can use this script at the end of a break activity to give you a choice wether or not to start the work activity again.
You only need to change the values in the section MANDATORY CUSTOMIZATIONS and you can make further customization below. The SCRIPT PART contains the code for the script, unless you want to you don't have to make changes there.
This script was created by Rouven, 2009 and is provided for free without any warranty, etc.

set activity2 to "04 Long Break"
--- OTHER CUSTOMIZATIONS
--- Define the text for the button that does not trigger a new activity
set button3 to "Stop Working"
--- Define the text and title for the Dialog
set dialogText to "What do you want to do now?"
set dialogTitle to "Choose your next step..."
--- Misc.
set giveUp to 360 --- time in seconds before the dialog gives up and dissappears
set errorGiveUp to 90 --- the same for error messages
