I follow most of these tips and thus have managed to work on PC for years without any problems. I generally take five minutes break after working for about 30 minutes on my desktop computer. One must also take care of ergonomics - the body posture, wrist position, the position of legs (should not be one on other) and the monitor and chair height etc. when working on a computer. The site: http://www.ehow.com referred by you for the back exercise looks to be a good all-round resource. Thanks! Good post Andrew!

I already use some of these tactics to battle the gruelling hours in front of my comp. I think another good mention is the negative effects of laptop. They're great for people on the move, but are much worse on the back because the screen is not eye-level (forcing you forward and straining your spine). It's best to get a free standing desktop PC (or mac) and ensure the screen is eye level. Thanks for the pointers! Ciao for now, Lilly Such a great article.

I've never heard of the 20/20/20 rule, and the 50 things to reduce stress are great too. Personally, I like to take a weekend away away from blogging every week. It helps rejuvenate my body and mind. :) Some helpful tips, without a doubt.

This is something I badly needed. Sometimes you just zone out and stare at the screen motionless for hours at a time. Thanks for the reminder to take care of yourself. Great post, Andrew.

Hands can take a beating at the keyboard too...I keep a nailfile, bottle of nail strengthening treatment and a bottle of hand lotion in my drawer as well. It's hard to concentrate on your writing when your skin feels like paper from tapping away at keys all morning or you have a broken nail!
