Is correct?

You should take a break every hour for don't be bored?
  

Top answer

No. The right thing could be something like: "You should take a break every hour so (that) you won't be bored" or "You should take a break every hour in order not to be bored " (Well, in fact, I'm not sure if this one is "legal", so I ask someone to confirm it, please. " But, definitely, not "for don't be bored" .

Everything is fine here.
Piplotfor don't be bored?
This is where it becomes awkward.

It looks like you are trying to use for as a correlated conjunction. So works better if that's what you are trying to get at.
