Regular breaks are very necessary for your health.
- You should get up from your PC every hour or two and stretch.
- Look out the window to focus your eyes on something far away.
- Be sure you are sitting up straight and your monitor is at eye level (not higher or lower)
- Be sure your arms are flat on the desk to use your mouse or keyboard - not higher or lower.
- A large book under your feet (as a footstool) helps release the pressure of sitting from your lower back.
- 'Cat naps' (just a few minutes with eyes closed) have proven to make people more efficient and accurate.
This will help with the stress on your eyes and body.
On Sundays I am off - I try not to even look at my computers. I do take a work in the evening, I feel much better after walking 4 miles or so.
During the week I have some exercises I do at home and really just anything that is not the computer (even housework and errands ) helps to calm me down and relax me. Reminds me I am not a Bot.
It is no joke -overwork and stress can be killers - so we need to pay attention to our health.
