3. Plan your work and play so that one is not performed to the exclusion of the other.
4. Use different input devices on your computer:
a) Perform a scrolling task using the mouse wheel or the arrow keys instead of clicking the mouse.
b) Set and use keyboard shortcuts to change your routine.
c) Work with software and hardware on your computer to reduce effort and increase productivity. Review written work using the document editing features, use the spell check before visually checking for errors, activate the grammar and spelling tools, and don’t cut, copy, or paste when you can review using your processor’s review tools.
d) Change the thought pattern of your mind: edit from the bottom of your document to the top.
e) If your mind begins to wander from your work, get up and let your body wander with your mind.
Above all, give yourself permission to relax and you will more likely write happy and compute healthy.
