Tips 9 & 10 (the last of the tips)
Tip #9
Vary tasks. Change your tasks every hour or two. For example if you are working on a spreadsheet change after a couple of hours to answering emails or to working in a word document. Consider interspersing non-computer tasks such as filing, copying, phone calls, etc. In this way you will vary movements in your body and avoid repetitive motions over a long period of time.
Tip #10
Check your posture. It is very common for those who work at computers to round their back, roll their shoulders forward, bend their elbows out to the sides and extend their neck forward. These positions will lead to injury. The more time spent in these positions – the greater the chance of injury. Be sure to sit up straight with your torso right over your hips – keep your head neck and spine in one line. Lift your collar bones and broaden through your chest. Put a sticky note on you computer to remind yourself to check your posture every 30 minutes.
