Here's a great tip I read for toughening those fingertips when perhaps taking a break or concentrating on a little used area of the fingers

Use a credit card (or similar) and place one edge in your palm and the other on your fingertips.

I do it when queuing somewhere, like at the supermarket.

As always though, don't overdo it.
