The #1 thing that has always worked for me, and I've been addressing this for years .. since 1983 .. has been to switch things up.. Change my keyboard at least twice a year. You know that whole vim vs. emacs debate? Actually, thats really healthy for you. If you don't wanna have sore knuckles every week, use both. It really helps to switch it up. In 1984, I was mostly a user of 8-bit style keyboard systems. Had MSX, had British-8bit, had a bit of American.. In the 90's I had a lot of American. I mean, who hasn't had a bit of IBM or Cherry or two, amirightkids? All through this period, there were periphery effects where I could observe my hands saying, enough is enough. Please do something else for a while so pathways can be repaired. So, I did it. I've pushed all kinds of switches in response. Turns out, this is good for all kinds of other reasons too (pollygots ftw) and so on. But every year I think to myself, how well are my hands behaving? And the answer always comes back to, did I upgrade my main machine this year? (Disclaimer: ready to ditch Apple and go with someone else, unibody..)
