Essentials for Desk-Job Arthritis Girlies
If you’re a fellow desk-job girlie dealing with wrist pain, I've got you.
I’m a full-time Instructional Designer who spends 8+ hours a day on my laptop and computer, and if I skip even one of these for a day, I feel it instantly.
🙋🏻♀️ What is an Instructional Designer (ID), you ask? We're the ones who are behind the engaging courses, trainings, and how-to guides. It's a niche role relevant to every field, and it's a 6-figure career path. I also post a lot about my role in ID, so follow along for more!
These are my go-to wrist-saving essentials:
🖱️ Trackball Mouse
No more excessive wrist movement. This changed the game for me. Your thumb does the work, not your whole arm and wrist!
🛋️ Mouse Pad with Gel Wrist Support
Cushions your wrist and reduces pressure!
⌨️ Ergonomic Keyboard + Wrist Pad
Whether it’s built-in or separate, this helps keep your wrists in a neutral, pain-free position.
💻 Laptop Wrist Pads
If you're working straight from a laptop, this is non-negotiable. It helps prevent strain from those awkward angles.
✨ Take care of your wrists— chronic pain is not cute! Follow along for more career chats and tips.
