Becoming a better Vim user and preserving your hands simultaneously
Disable your arrow keys and use hjkl.
It seems a little weird at first but after even one day it becomes apparent how much time and effort you cumulatively save:
" Put this in your .vimrc
noremap <Down> <nop>
noremap <Left> <nop>
noremap <Up> <nop>
noremap <Right> <nop>and also remap escape to caps lock (this is a system dependant modification)
