Detox? Diet? Fitness? We're only 2 weeks into January and most of us have already given up on our good intentions for 2009! But here's a promise we can all make ourselves this year which will keep us healthy, and it's easy to do...

Here's 3 suggestions to help you protect yourself from Repetitive Strain Injury:

1 Use keyboard shortcuts

Using keyboard shortcuts means less repetitive mouse clicking.

CTRL + C: Copy

CTRL + X: Cut

CTRL + V: Paste

CTRL + Z: Undo

CTRL + B: Bold

CTRL + U: Underline

CTRL + I: Italic

3 Use Ergonomic equipment

Goldtouch Ergonomic Keyboard - We're all different shapes and sizes (especially after the Christmas binge!) and we all work slightly differently at our desks. So, it makes sense that our keyboard should be adjusted to fit us as individuals.

The Goldtouch Ergonomic Keyboard is the only fully adjustable keyboard on the market, and can be moved horizontally and vertically to suit you. This means you're more comfortable and your boss is happier (because you're more efficient!)

" ... the Goldtouch keyboard is a dream to use. My shoulder pain has stopped. I would not swap back now. Congratulations to Goldtouch."

Kirsty Hornsey, Health & Safety Officer, Chichester College
