For a few years, I would sit at my machine for HOURS at a time writing, in a quest to master steno. After doing some research, I’ve started to make sure that I take a break every couple of hours and do some exercises. A sedentary lifestyle can be harmful to your health. Be sure to take breaks and take care of yourself. We are such perfectionists. We often focus on the job at hand, and forget about tending to ourselves. Remember, you are at your most effective when your health is at its best. TAKE CARE OF YOU!
