OOS, RSI, CTS... - These acronyms all hurt you, and can kill your career in these wired times. Repetitive strain injury, Occupational overuse syndrome, and Carpal tunnel syndrome are all faces of the same malaise. In layman's terms, if you use something too much, you'll damage it. For those on the coal face of the IT industry, it's endemic, and can mean losing a career when typing becomes too painful to sustain... What can you do? A good typing technique makes a huge difference. Touch typing is recommended, and you should use two hands to use a shift or control key combo. I switched to the Dvorak keyboard a while back, both to reduce finger movement, and force myself to touch type. It is a big help to take frequent 'microbreaks' every 5-15 minutes from what you are doing, move around, stretch, and give blood a chance to flow around the place. You should move your arms away from the keyboard and mouse, focus your eyes to some distant point, and relax. I wrote this program because I always get too involved in what I am working on to remember to take regular breaks (hours can pass before I remember that I should eat, or go to the toilet...). However, I found every reminder program I tried to be too frustrating and/or intrusive to use for long. What does the program do? Every 10 minutes (or whatever you set it to) the program will play a sound to remind you to have a stretch. I use a large archive of sound bites from movies and TV (www.tidalwavs.com is good) - the program picks one at random as the reminder each time to keep it interesting. The important thing is that this is not intrusive, it does not slow me down, and it works. I resent those programs that measure how much you have moved your mouse, or used your keyboard. All that expends resources that my PC and I could better use elsewhere. SoundBreak just sleeps until it is needed.

ChronoControl protects your health and eyesight when working at the computer and guards your children against the negative influence of computer games (both from physical health risks and psychological dependency). Moreover, ChronoControl will help you to substantially enhance the efficiency of your work at the computer while helping relieve you of the symptoms of both physical and mental fatigue. ChronoControl attentively monitors a user’s working schedule and requires him to take brief regular breaks from his work, since it’s necessary for both his physical and mental health. When performing this task, ChronoControl acts in the most compelling and effective way; the program locks the screen, keyboard and mouse completely during such a break. After using CronoControl for awhile, that you not only feel much better, you will also see how much more you seem to get done during your working day and how much more composed, attentive and productive your thought processes have become! ChronoControl has a wide range of adjustable options that let every user fine-tune it to his own requirements and working conditions.
