Give Your Wrists a Short Keyboard Breakwellnessdaily

When you've been typing for a while, your hands can stay poised over the keyboard even after the task is done. Let them rest in your lap for a moment.

If comfortable, open and close your hands gently, then make a few small wrist circles in each direction. Keep the range easy. You don't need wide circles, tightly clenched fists, or twenty repetitions for the break to count.

Use the end of an email, a focus session, or a call as the reminder. Look away from the screen while you pause, then return with your wrists and forearms comfortably supported.

Stop if a movement causes pain, numbness, tingling, or other symptoms. Repeated discomfort deserves attention to your work setup and advice from a healthcare professional, rather than more repetitions. A movement break is an opportunity to notice how you're working, not a treatment to push through.
