>Try to get enough sleep, exercise, eat well, and avoid too much chronic stress. Specifically, do exercises which strengthen your hands, wrists, and arm muscles. In my early twenties my hands and lower arms would get so sore after a day of typing that I could barely move them, with searing pain shooting up my lower arms into my wrists. I knew I had to do something quick so I focused on strength, taking up climbing and water skiing. In less than a year I was pain free & twenty years on I'm still fine. I know guys who took other approaches like using voice to text dictation, pretty much joining "the keyboard of the month club", using funky mouses, using wrist braces, etc., but never focused on exercise. From my limited sample set, I'm the only one not wearing a wrist brace and who can still type at 100+ WPM with no pain. Don't underestimate the benefits of strength training when it comes to solving RSI. Of course your millage may vary. I suspect that once you have the first signs of RSI you need to be on top of it before permanent damage occurs, but there's some pretty good science out there which backs up strength training when it comes to mitigating RSI.
