Readers day | How much time on the computer?
I’ve seen so many people talking about the importance of reducing the computer time in our lives and I’ve always wondered, how much time do people really spend in front of their personal computers and on which tasks?
Currently I spend almost twelve hours every day (both mobile - notebook, and at home - desktop). A lot of time, I know. The reason for me spending so much time on the computer is that I’m doing almost all my work on it.
The full computerization of a country is impossible to avoid. Today computers are used on a production, in the offschools and flats.
Children, which can’t read and write yet, already strongly use this wonder machine, playing on it for hours.
The last researches showed that computers don’t make us more healthy and with the wrong use can give an irreparable harm.
While the computer producers assert that their products are absolutely unharmful, the protection remedies producers and the computer users have a different opinion.
The most common health problems are lose of eyesight, muscles and joints diseases, memory worsening, weakness, tachycardia, negative dysfunctions, inattention and neurasthenia. The easiest way to fight these problems is to pay close attention to your workspace ergonomics.
Now what I want to ask you is a simple question (well, two…):
How much time do you spend on your computer each day? And on which tasks do you spend the biggest chunk of time?
I’m curious to find out how much time do Project Armannd readers spend on their computers daily.

Hey Armannd,
I spend between 12-16 hours a day in front of my PC. I know it’s a lot, can’t get much more then that actually.
Most of the time I spend blogging and marketing and spreading words on it. I am a full time blogger
If there is a single most important tip for people like us, it would be to take a break every hour or every 2 hour. If not you get all sorts of aches, DVT, wrist injuries and who knows what else
Cheers
James
Often breaks are definitely the one best thing that we can do. One break per hour is the minimum, one per half hour is recommended.
I’m also into blogging full time, but for me the biggest chunk of time goes into studying and researching my niche. That counts for at least 7-8 hours every day. The rest of the time is spend on marketing and writing.
There are days when I’m so deep into work that I completely forget to take any kind of breaks. The dangers of doing what you love…
Breaks are definitely an important tip James. Another one just as important is to avoid keeping a single posture for too long. Keep moving on the chair, change positions as often as possible.
