I don’t know if it comes from being an engineer or an online business owner but I do spend most of my day in front of the computer. I’m guessing you may be doing the same thing too.

If you are, I need to make a “public service announcement” for your health and safety -  it’s one of the things that you really need to pay attention to! And my wrist maybe a living and breathing proof of that.

Over the last week,  I’ve been experiencing a pretty constant pain in my wrist. Now, I didn’t make the connection early enough but now that I think of it – it’s probably the extended use of my keyboard and mouse. And, it’s disabling me from doing a lot of things I’d normally do with my computer. That’s quite a bit of time being lost if you’ll agree with me.

Anyhow, because I’ve learned it the hard way – I want to save you the pain of all the stress that long computer use with negligence can cause. I’ve been guilty of bad posture and what not while sitting on my chair, checking my emails

Here’s a few links to help you use your computer without killing your body:

1. Tips from Stanford University – download their ergonomics brochure and their shortcut keys for PC and Mac

2. How t o create an ergonomic computer work station

3. Safe Computing Tips

4. Ergonomic Office Supplies

Also look for things on ebay. I’ve seen ergonomic mice on sale from $4 – $100’s of dollars there but you can get a pretty good one for around $30.

That;s the links I’ve found..

Any other links? Favorite ergonomic tips or better yet, how to fix my wrist?

Have a good Friday!
