Back to the grind? Some tips for avoiding computer strain
During the Holidays, I took a bit of a break from the computer. I still checked my Email everyday--I really don't know how anyone survived before it was invented--but I didn't spend all day in the front of the screen like I usually do. And like magic, the dull throb in my head and neck seemed to disappear. That's when I realized something had to change in my computer habits. Luckily, Everyday Health has some great tips for avoiding computer strain as we head into the second work week of 2008:
- Keep your monitor clean, bright, and tilted back about 10-20 degrees
- Sit up straight!
- Have your desk at Elbow height, with your keyboard a few inches above your thighs
- Have the mouse at the same height as the keyboard
- Take frequent breaks -- and I'm not talking about a few moments to browse celeb gossip sites. For for a short walk.
