working as a web dev, 8+ hours at a keyboard. by evening my hands are tired and i just want to zone out.

been trying to do 20 min before work instead. it's not much but it's consistent. any other devs who play โ€” how do you manage it?

I like to spend some time just when I wake up, and after I log off of work. It works pretty well for my schedule for now, but flexibility and being adaptable sometimes is necessary to keep time for the things I want to do around the things I need to do. If my hands feel overworked it's usually not both at the same time so I'll focus on the other hand if that happens, but if I take a break every couple hours of work to stretch and move around that usually keeps me from feeling sore especially in the hands and wrists.
