Why it matters
Good setup = less strain, more focus. You don’t need a brand-new desk — lift the screen, bring input devices to you, and move a little more, more often.
Quick setup checklist
- Screen top at eye level; arm’s length away.
- Elbows about 90°, shoulders relaxed; wrists neutral.
- Hips slightly higher than knees when sitting.
- Stand for 15–30 min blocks, then sit again — rotate.
1-minute micro-moves (set a timer hourly)
- 10 calf raises, 10 shoulder rolls, 5 chest-openers on a doorway.
- Look far away for 20 seconds (eye strain reset).
- Sit-to-stand ×5.
