To take movement breaks, I've recently adopted the well-known pomodoro technique: 25 timed minutes at the keyboard, 5 minutes away (stretches and rolls, stationary bike, a quick household chore). Repeat. Bonus: This also tracks my time on a project.

Thanks! Yes - a good supportive chair and proper positioning of your equipment makes a world of difference.

My chiropractor is the one who told me about the weight of your head if you are leaning forward. I didn’t realize it put so much strain on your neck.

I was taught in typing class ages ago that the arms should be parallel with the floor, too, with no part of the hands or wrists resting on the keyboard or desk. The hands need to move freely.

Great blog post!

I once went to a chiropractor who told me where my monitor was positioned on my desk at work and how I should move it to help prevent the headaches I was having. Huge eye opener!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I have to keep reminding myself not to lean forward in my chair - lol
