RSI RSI RSI RSI RSI RSI RSI RSI RSI

It’s not healthy to do the same thing again and again.

Physically speaking it causes Repetitive Strain Injury, which affects the muscles, tendons and nerves. I worry about it, since it can be cause by any number of things; using a computer keyboard, using a piano keyboard, playing the guitar and so on.

I do all of the above on a daily basis. My poor nerves must be torn to shreds.

Mentally, however, this repetitiveness is becoming much more apparent to me. I wake at the same time, make the same journey to work, do the same job each day (which involves saying the same things to huge numbers of people, or ‘clients’) and then walk home again. Can you get mental RSI?

Being in sales involves repeating the same facts over and over. I think I may say these things while I sleep. It is most disconcerting.
