Ever get a headache and irritated eyes after working on your computer? You are not alone. According to the American Optometric Association,Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is occuring in about 70% of moderate to frequent computer users.
Staring at a computer or other digital device for two hours or more without using measures to prevent eye strain, can put you at risk for CVS. This growing problem is a new condition of the electronic age, where people of all ages are inundated by variations of screen technology. From TV sets and computer monitors to handheld devices–they are nearly everywhere we go.
The headaches, eye strain, fatigue, and irritated eyes are even more common for those who wear optical aids, such as contacts or glasses. Additionally, this 71% of CVS sufferers also complain of back, neck, and eye pain more often. Although you cannot change your genetic propensity for poor eyesight, you can at least reduce eye strain’s role in its development. Avoiding overuse of these items seems like the obvious answer, but modern life and work often make it unavoidable.
Paying attention to four areas can make a big difference in your health:
1. Computer Screen Placement: If your computer screen is equal to or above eye level, this could be causing unnecessary eye strain. The best placement for eye health and comfort, puts the center of the screen four or five inches below eye level and 20 to 28 inches away from your face.
2. Lighting and Glare Reduction: A light source shining on your screen will cause eye strain because of the the glare. A carefully placed directional lamp that shines on the desk surface instead of the device will provide adequate light and keep reflections at a minimum.
3. Take a 20 Second Break: In order to rest your eyes and reduce the occurrence of eye strain, there is a simple 20/20/20 rule to remember. Every 20 minutes, look at an object at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds to allow your eyes to refocus.
4. Remember to Blink: Blinking is necessary to moisten your eyes and keep irritation at bay. When people stare at a screen, they tend to blink far less than usual, which can lead to “dry eye.”

What is even more impressive is that the creative boost is not short lived. Meaning that with just 30 minutes of exercise your creative can be heightened for long periods of time.

In a recent Newsweek magazine article on current research on exercise-related creativity they wrote the following:
‘Almost every dimension of cognition improves from 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, and creativity is no exception. The type of exercise doesn’t matter, and the boost lasts for at least two hours afterward. However, there’s a catch: this is the case only for the physically fit. For those who rarely exercise, the fatigue from aerobic activity counteracts the short-term benefits.‘

However, altering your strategy by just asking them them to show you how they would solve the problem doubles their creative output.
