Following are a few tips to help you work effectivelywithout a lot of physical discomfort:• Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position, with yourelbows at your side.• Position the keyboard and mouse so that you do not have to reach forthem.• Don’t strike the keys too hard; type with a soft touch.• Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or ona footrest.• Use a chair that provides good back support.• Try to place the monitor so that there is little glare from the sun on themonitor.• Walk around the room every hour.• Every half-hour look away from the computer screen for a few minutes.• Vary your tasks throughout the day.• Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges.
