Work Habits
The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from strain is to vary your
activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your working
day. Finding ways to break up the routine can reduce stress and
improve your efficiency.
• Take frequent breaks to change position, stretch your muscles,
and relieve your eyes. A break of two or three minutes every half
hour is more effective than a long break after several hours.
• Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods. Intersparse
such activities with other tasks.
• Focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long periods
can cause eyestrain. Look away from the computer frequently
and focus your eyes on a distant object for at least 30 minutes.
