There are three things that really helped me when I began developing RSI
1. Learn and use keyboard shortcuts. The mouse was a major issue for me, so I started to use the keyboard as much as possible. I installed gnome-do so I would be able to access all my apps through the keyboard.
2. When you aren't typing, DO NOT rest your hands on the keyboard. This one killed me until I finally broke the habit. Resting your hands on the keyboard causes them undue stress.
3. Make sure you are elevated above your keyboard at the correct angle. Find what works for you, but having your arms extend DOWN to the keyboard with a shallow grade is very important.
