1. Give a break to your eyes every 20 minutes this will help improve your productivity too.
2. While writing with the right hand, ensure light is on the left side so that the shadow does not fall on the writing material.

785112 2009-06-23 19:16:00 I had a small case of RSI in my wrist after using the computer a while back, and decided to give this (www.workrave.org)a go. It seemed to help, as my small case of RSI has now gone :).

The only problem now is that I am somewhat immune to the prompts to take a break every 3 minutes :o.

785113 2009-06-23 20:41:00 I just sit there and never look away from the screen until I either realise I need to or until I've finished what I'm doing :lol: pcuser42 (130)
785114 2009-06-23 21:19:00 Sounds a bit airy-fairy, but consider a consultant ergonomist; we have them come around twice a year, and they can make a massive difference.

Also, my slightly low-tech trick is to drink lots of water - this is good for keeping you healthy anyway, but it also makes you need to pee a lot, so you're always getting up for a walk to the WC, resting your eyes, and stretching your legs!!

785115 2009-06-23 21:39:00 Definitely. Lots of water, not lots of coffee. Much more productive. I tend to live off the stuff, I'm sure it makes my hands shake. :o wratterus (105)
