Wrist wrest
Comments
My current wrist care regimen, which is… well, slowly helping me to not be in quite so much pain (more slowly than I’d like):
- Using Time Out with the following breaks set up (in decreasing priority order):
- Get to bed: break for 4 minutes every 19 minutes, between 1 AM and 6 AM
- Normal: break for 3 minutes every 20 minutes, all day long; only allow 3 1-minute postponements per day, and show the postpone count
- Micro: break for 10 seconds every 4 minutes
- Exercise: 5 minutes every hour, all day long; only allow 3 5-minute postponements per day, and show the postpone count. Randomly selects one of a few different wrist- and core-strength exercises for me to do.
- During a normal or get to bed break, do one of the following:
- Clean something
- Do some dishes
- Spin a powerball (affiliate link)
- Stretches
- Squish some putty
- Don’t worry about not getting stuff done
- Type exclusively using a keyboard.io while (sometimes) wearing padded wrist braces (affiliate link)
- Every time I walk through my office door, do some chin-ups (affiliate link)
- Actually drink plenty of water and do stretches
- Remember that it isn’t a race
(For Windows and Linux users, the closest equivalent to Time Out is Workrave although it has plenty of problems.)
