Look After Eye Health As A Content Marketer!
When you tend to your Blog and write content for hours on end, then tend to other parts of your Marketing, it is very easy to forget about the strain that contstant computer use can exert on your eyes.
Therefore, today I would just like to offer a quick tip to everyone. Now, I won't bore you with all the anatomy details suffice it to say that the eye muscles become strained if focusing on short distance objects, such as a PC, Laptop or mobile device, therefore, a quick tip:
What you can do to keep your eye muscles healthy is to follow the simple 20 - 20 - 20 Plan.
Simply put, find an object 20 feet away from where you use the Computer. Then, every 20 minutes, focus on that object that is 20+ feet away for a time of 20 seconds. Give your eyes a break as well.
Enjoy,
Tim.

That's a great piece of advice. Very simple. I'm approximately twenty feet away from a window. Now I have the perfect excuse to gaze longingly through it. Thanks Tim.
My Pleasure, hope it helps.
NOT Longingly, just 20 secs, still work to do.
Sorry for being the Fun Police! LOL
Hi Tim.
This is why I like so much to trawl these posts—one never knows upon what gems one might stumble.
I'll give this a try. Ish. Dunno about the 20 feet thing, I'll estimate it but I can't be ars^d actually to measure it out. But that's just me.
A while ago my optician had me buy a gizmo which warms blinkers off a USB. That, combined with Macushield which 1. I swear by and 2. I take one of a day, have combined (knock on wood) to keep my aging eyes on an even keel.
(The gizmo is Vindar Cotton Eye Mask, and it cost me £16 including delivery. I'm sure your favourite search engine can point you in the right direction of that, or a similar product.)
Anyway, don't forget to have lots of fun.
Regards,
My Pleasure!
Another great eye tip for today are The Blue Light Blocking Glasses. Will help prevent Macular Degeneration later in life and also help with sleep.
Take Care,
Tim

I know what you mean about the eye strain. I will try your 20-20-20 suggestion.
Hoping it works for you.
Cheers,
