I agree with the concept. It would help if it were a standard phrase, or used alliteration/rhyme/pun, to be more memorable/catchy though.
A similar name I thought of a while back was Well-Earned Breaks. This would have been ideal, as it’s a standard phrase in British English, meaning ‘a break you deserve for working hard’. But it turns out Americans don’t understand it.
Is it a common phrase in its own right, as it is here in the UK? Maybe it’s regional; my partner, from Chicago, didn’t recognise it, though she got the literal gist.
(ADDED) Actually I see some dictionaries list it (also e.g. ‘well-earned rest’) as a US phrase as well as UK:
Though from googling places it’s used, I get the impression it’s mostly British.
I think it has a nice, cozy emotion to it—like awarding yourself a prize each time you take a break (even after 3 minutes’ work!) I find it hard to say ‘well-earned break’ without smiling!
Earned Breaks—would put the focus on the emotional aspect of coupling the two lengths and would sound non-technical

Really? I’m American and it sounds perfectly normal to me.

“Well-earned rest” is the standard idiom.
I’m on the East coast, and “well-earned” is definitely in the lexicon.
