Tangential to music, but how do y'all train yourselves to ignore your bodies? I sit for 5 minutes and my back hurts. It's my biggest focus killer. I'm constantly aware of how physically uncomfortable I am when I have to work on some extended programming task, sitting or standing desk alike.
I've taken to lying horizontal with a keyboard on my lap and a projector aimed at the ceiling. Feels ridiculous but it's at least comfortable.
Sometimes I don't think I'd mind being a brain in a vat.
- drjasonharrison 6y agoHave you looked into yoga, Pilates, or any core strengthening exercises? While sitting is very strenuous on the human body, it's not something that should hurt after five minutes.
- _jal 6y agoIf you're that uncomfortable after trying to adjust, it sounds like something might be wrong. Could be worth asking a specialist about your symptoms. I occasionally have RSI issues, which are usually a stress symptom telling me I'm operating above red-line. If I listen to my body, things work out much better than if I try to ignore it.
- dnautics 6y agoSounds like you need to do core exercises: crunches etc.
