What are giving yourself for Christmas?

We can’t give you advice on diamonds or cars, and besides, that doesn’t exactly fit the guiltless part of the title.  What we can give you is advice about what you really need and why you should treat yourself to some computing comfort.

Guilt-free Gifts

First, there is little you can give yourself that is better than good health.  Work-related stress and strain is way too frequently occurring for comfort (pun intended).  It’s important to do everything you can to avoid stress and strain.  Some of the common culprits leading to work-related injuries are poor posture and poor ergonomic habits.

• Use an ergonomic keyboard.  Most hand and wrist injuries are a result of cocking wrists and other awkward typing positions.  An ergonomic keyboard is designed to keep your hands and wrists in proper placement comfortably and efficiently.
• Add an ergonomic mouse.  Similarly, your wrist twists awkwardly to use a standard mouse and your hand can also cramp from an ill-fitting one.  An ergonomic mouse, on the other hand, keeps everything in place and also for your hand much more comfortably.
• Try a wrist rest.  Wrist rests are ideal for resting the palms of your hand between periods of typing.

Just by trying a few new products, you can treat yourself to more comfort and less pain!  Happy holidays and happy typing!
