1) This is absolutely crucial: Especially if you use a laptop, get an external keyboard and a very high riser for the screen (most risers on the market aren't nearly high enough).
If you're both typing into your laptop keyboard and trying to view its screen, you'll have no choice but to slouch or hunch.
To get the screen to the right height relative to the keyboard (for upright posture and elbows at a right angle at your side), even a short person should lift their laptop by over 18 inches (roughly the distance from waist to shoulder).
2) Get a vision exam annually and corrective lenses if appropriate so you never have to lean in to your screen.
