I thought it was worth sharing: Eye strain: I suppose if you use every hour awake to work behind a screen, there are several solutions to avoid eye strain: 1: Sleep as much as you can to shorten the working day :-) 2: Don't use the screen for everything, sometimes ordinary paper can handle some of your daily job. (like droodling) 3: Drink as much as you can, and put the source of the drink (i.e.fridge) in a walking distance, not near your desk. Go to the toiletregularly. 4. Put the telephone on the other side of the room. 5: Install a anti rsi program like the freeware workrave. It willremind you of a break (and exercise) now and then. 6: Try to remember that work is not worth your health. Work is nice, but it's known it costs a lot of free time ;-) I received a comment about this post through this site’s contact form from Marcel. I thought it was worth sharing:

I have a window nearby that I look out every so often to make sure I focus at a distance. It's also a good reason to get up and walk away from the computer for a bit to prevent "rearsore" as well.
