You probably have too-small a screen or too small letters on your screen, though for what it's worth there really i no ergonomic way to use a laptop that doesn't involve at least one of an external keyboard or screen. Increase your font sizes, and you may not feel the need to lean in so much. (And/or see an eye doc.)
And working at home (or in a startup you run, I guess) means you can do things to help your health and productivity even if they might seem ridiculous, like take naps and walk while you type. Yet another reason I don't see myself ever having a 'normal' job again. (And most people seem to think my treadmill desk is pretty cool, fwiw.)
- mechanical_fish 16y agoThis is fine advice, but you're burying the lede: There really i no ergonomic way to use a laptop that doesn't involve at least one of an external keyboard or screen. Amen. Laptops have lousy ergonomics. Get an external keyboard, and/or a portable external keyboard, and/or find some way to prop up the screen, and/or get an external monitor.
- jvdh 16y agoI completely agree. Make sure that the top of the screen is at about the same height has your eyes when you're sitting upright. That's the best ergonomic height for a screen and will prevent you from slouching.
