Do you sit on the computer/mobile device for hours?

Hi everyone,
This is a public service announcement to anyone who uses their computer/laptop/mobile/tablet for hours.
There is a massive risk called RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).
The problem with RSI is that it starts with minimal pain/discomfort, your body seems normal...
Until it suddenly evolves into bigger problems (ex: tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome) which can evolve to permanent and disabling problems!
If you are having ANY pain/discomfort no matter how little, DO NOT IGNORE IT.
The solution at the beginning is fairly simple:
- Fix your posture! Do not lean over the laptop or computer, do not sit in awkward positions while browsing your mobile devices.
- Use an ergonomic keyboard / mouse.
- Most importantly: do stretches and do them often (every 20 minutes).

I really like your suggestion.
When I began to notice that I was spending a lot of time using the phone instead of work, I introduced one rule into my routine. I turn off the phone and, if possible, the Internet for 2 hours and do things for which I usually did not have enough time in my usual routine. Surprisingly, after a while, I started to notice real progress and stopped procrastinating.
