It's important to improve your skills, but you can't neglect your health as a programmer. Here are four, very easy steps you can take to maintain your health at your desk job.

Protect your eyes
You can read the full American Optometric Association paper, or you can simply wear eye protection. Bottom line, is UV light harms your eyes. That must be why I really enjoy looking at deep-blue Christmas lights...
I would recommend any pair of glasses while on your computer that have blue-light reflective coating, or a blue light filter. I personally have a pair of these, and I immediately noticed a difference at the end of the day - my eyes didn't feel sore or tired (that is what long exposure to UV light does to your eyes). This is also a good article on the subject.
Worth the investment |
You can also consider monitors that have built-in blue light filters, but they tend to be more on the expensive side of things.
Follow the 20-20-20 rule
Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds; it's what my optometrist tells me very visit. Why? Focusing for too long of periods of time can cause problems for your eyes. I could guess that it would cause astigmatisms, but I'm no doctor.
The best way I have found to implement this practice is by using a Pomodoro timer. A Pomodoro timer uses the time-management technique, aptly named Pomodoro technique, to help us focus our work in short, focused increments - around 25 minutes, with a few minutes of break time. Simply pop-open the page and start the timer, when it stops, take a 20 second break, and continue along your merry way.
Monitor position
Besides staying comfortable, it really makes a difference if you don't have your setup in an optimal position. I'm not going to go through all the details here, as there is plenty of information online.
Put all those old reference books to good use! |
Walk
If you are lucky enough that you have treadmill desks, I would encourage you to walk as much as you can. If you are like the rest of us, you aren't that lucky. Don't let your job sacrifice your health; take a few walks during the day, park far from work, or take the long way to the bathroom. Don't become a [sitting] potato!
I appreciate you for this blog. More informative, thanks for sharing with us.

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
