Comfort is a skill. With a few small adjustments, your desk can feel like a place your body trusts. The right setup protects focus, speed, and your future self.

Quick Setup

  • Chair height so feet are grounded, hips slightly above knees
  • Screen at eye level, an arm’s length away
  • Keyboard close, wrists floating and straight
  • Elbows soft, shoulders relaxed and low

  • Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds
