Ergonomic Discipline

How to complete Ergonomic Discipline

Slouching and crossed legs feel comfortable for ten minutes and wreck your lower back over eight hours. Holding feet-flat, back-supported posture for a whole workday proves you can override the slump-by-default habit and shows you what neutral spine actually feels like.

1. Set your chair height so your knees sit at roughly 90 degrees with both feet flat
2. Slide your hips all the way back so the chair, not your muscles, holds your spine
3. Raise your screen to eye level so you don't crane forward and drag your back with it
4. Set a reminder every 30-60 minutes to reset position, posture decays silently
5. Uncross your legs every time you catch them, it's the most common drift

Tips

• A small rolled towel behind your lower back makes upright posture the path of least resistance
• Standing or walking on breaks counts as good ergonomics too, stillness itself is the enemy
• If your feet dangle, use a footrest or a stack of books rather than tucking them under you

What counts as done

You finished a full workday having kept feet flat and back supported, catching and correcting every slump.
