At 24 years old (2001), I was excited to graduate college.
I couldn’t wait to get an office job. A real career.
I thought sitting at a computer for a living would be amazing.
At 48 years old (now), I’ve learned sitting at a computer causes chronic pain.
The most stubborn injuries I’ve ever had.
The biggest lessons 24 years taught me (that you might need to hear too):
Ergonomic Tips That Relieve Chronic Pain
→ 1. “Sit up straight” is terrible advice.
→ 2. The spine has natural curves (from a side angle).
→ 3. Laptop monitors are terrible for our health.
→ 4. Ergonomics = much more than just computer posture.
Sitting at a computer doesn’t have to hurt.
I corrected my computer posture with as many small, 1% improvements I could find.
Each ergonomic improvement force multiplied the next one.
It’s synergy. ✨
