Does anyone ever reach a high level of productivity with correct posture? I can't.

Does anyone ever reach a high level of productivity with correct posture? I can't.
- hashmap 8mo agoif im not sitting on my right foot with left knee under my chin my thinking takes a hit, but i also have to constantly switch how im sitting so i dont get annoyed. its hard not to slouch/melt into whatever im sitting on and i think the only way to offset all that is the gym.
- louthy 8mo agoSure, but getting the right environment is a prerequisite. In my case it’s a Herman Miller Embody chair [1] that stops me getting into a bad position (it’s not impossible, it just encourages good posture).

- esskay 8mo agoTotally a tangent here but it amazes me how a company as big as Herman Miller could screw a product page up so much by not even having a picture of the damn product.
- hypeatei 8mo agoSomething might be wrong with your client (ad-blocker, NoScript maybe?) because there a ton of pictures on that page.
- esskay 8mo agoHa, yep you're right. How bizarre, wasn't a browser ad block, it was adguard dns blocking a ton of tracking scripts needed to show the images.
- StilesCrisis 8mo agoIt's the first thing on the page. Your browser is doing something funky.
- esskay 8mo agoWas adguard dns. Apparently their asset delivery method is flagged on a ton of adblocker lists.
- amelius 8mo agoI had the same problem.
- mrbluecoat 8mo agoIt's there, you just have to slouch to see it.
- emptybits 8mo agoLol, I see the image fine but if I click the red "Buy Now" button, I get a 404. Fortunately, I type this, sitting in my wonderful 15 year old Embody chair so I don't actually need to buy now. Everyone is different and I never raved much about Aerons but the Embody has been very good to me, whether my posture is textbook "good" or "badly" slouched and reclined ... it supports and makes me want to sit and work. :-)
- raman325 8mo agoif you are US based, it seems like switching to United States as the country works (or en_us in the URL from en_gb)
- hexbin010 8mo agoThe embodiment of overpriced and mediocre
- cluckindan 8mo agoWord of warning: the Embody chair does not have front-to-back adjustments for the armrests. They will be pretty useless unless you like having your keyboard close to the edge of your desk.
- apt-apt-apt-apt 8mo agoI ditched all my HM chairs for a standard wooden chair. They just never felt right (maybe the non-forward-adjustable armrests had something to do with it), but boy are they good at selling you an expensive fantasy.
- refactor_master 8mo agoHell, my bed is on the floor, and my sofa is now also a pillow on the floor.
- joquarky 8mo agoI was the same for decades until I moved somewhere with black widows.
- stevemadere 8mo agoWow! That chair costs about $2000. https://store.hermanmiller.com/office-chairs-ergonomic-chairs/embody-chair/4737.html?lang=en_US&sku=100137718 https://store.hermanmiller.com/office-chairs-ergonomic-chair... Nice back you've got there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it.
- oarfish 8mo agoLuckily there is no such thing as "correct posture".
