Take 5
Beading can be a passive activity. Sometimes it takes a long time to finish a project, and it’s hard to stop when you’re "on a roll." Remember to stop, stretch, drink some water and focus your eyes on something across the room. This fights fatigue and keeps your hands, neck and shoulders in top shape. Try setting an alarm in the room next to where you work so you have no choice but to get up, put down your beads and go shut off that noise!
