Sitting isn’t the only enemy.
Working in the same position for hours is. Even if our posture is good.
The secret: I switch positions before my body feels pain.
Sitting on a chair, standing, sitting on a stool, reclining: all good.
I switch through these positions multiple times a day.
As soon as I feel pain, or my mental clarity starts to suffer…
I take a short break…
Get some movement in…
Fill up my water…
Then I work in a new position when I get back to my desk.
It helps me to avoid repetitive strain and overuse injuries.
Because when I change positions often…
The same muscles aren’t chronically overused.
While the rest aren’t constantly deactivated.
Why Changing Positions Improves Computer Posture and Productivity
Working in the same exact position, for long periods of time, creates an unbalanced energy for me. It affects my:
- blood circulation
- posture
- strength
- muscle tension
- energy level
- work productivity
- mental clarity
But switching work positions, multiple times throughout the day, helps me improve all those issues.
