I have one question as regards ergonomics. How do you keep good neck posture? I've a habit of protruding my head outward really close to the monitor, and reading books at a very close distance (like 6 inches). As a result, my shoulders, neck, and head now make out the x^3 curve (it should of course ideally be somewhat straight). I have to consciously think about keeping my neck straight... but it's very hard to be mindful of this 24/7.
- goodside 17y agoRaise the monitor until you have to look straight ahead to use it. Bring it closer to you if necessary. Get glasses.
- jimmyjim 17y agoMy eye sight is perfectly fine (well, with the glasses on), so that's not a problem. It's just a habit I've had for as long as I can remember. I would bring it closer to me, but I think that's bad for the eyes. I'd kill for the E-ink technology to come to computer screen monitors, even if it's with a bad refresh rate.
- rarrrrrr 17y agoFor me it's a large screen and big comfy font size. You might find that resistance training helps, especially back and core/abdominal. An expert trainer will likely be able to identify what's needed.
- chipsy 17y agoPeople usually say "exercise" as a tip for better posture in general, but nutrition is probably a stronger influence because of its effects on core strength, which will make you tend one way or the other. So if you aren't already supplementing, try protein and a multivitamin. It might be all you need.
