I'm very happy for you that you can work like that, but if I work in a bad posture like on a couch for an hour I will have back pain the rest of the day. Do it for a full working days and I will have pain for a week. I have always been prone to it but many more of my colleagues are developing similar problems after working from home for a few weeks without good setups.
- SuoDuanDao 7y agoFunny thing, working from home finally let me get a standing desk where it felt too conspicuous at the office. I don't have as much space in my living room any more, but I feel much better when that afternoon slump usually hits.

- nostrademons 7y agoI move a lot. My posture in general is terrible. I'm slouched in the corner of a couch right now, with my laptop on a half-lap, and when I worked in an office I would usually drape myself over the back of a high-backed chair and kneel on it. However, I don't stay in any one position for longer than about 15 minutes - after that I stand up, or shift to a different position, or swivel the chair around, or go lie down. Never had back pain or other joint problems other than tendonitis in my fingers. I've found that moving around and standing up every 15 minutes or so outweighs all the other shitty stuff I do to my body. Humans weren't made to sit still.
- tasuki 7y agoI'm still young (35) and same - my posture is terrible, but it's different kind of terrible every 10 minutes. Also haven't had problems yet. The one thing I can't stand for even 2 minutes is the recommended "proper sitting" posture. 90 degrees here and 90 degrees there - impossible!
