Add hands and knees and we could be the same person.
t's good to know those glasses do make a difference; I had thought about looking into them last year after the blue light filter I bought didn't really cut it and that was likely because
40 years of staring at computer screens had already done their "thing". But I discovered Windows 10 (which I'm not overly fond of otherwise) has a nightlight feature that lets me adjust the amber setting to my own comfort level (highish) which reduces eyestrain tremendously.
For me it isn't just the filter, it's having a pretty much full field of vision at the rx I need for reading (I'm extremely nearsighted, add in the problems with close distance now because of age, blah), which not only helps my eyes, but in turn helps the way I'm positioned.
Ergonomics is hugely important. When you think about how much time we spend at our desks (on our butts), on our work computers, and on our personal devices—well, the damage adds up over time.
These are great tips and we should consider the article in Lisa's link our own personal required reading. The more steps you take to improve your working conditions
now will pay off in greater comfort and productivity.
Note: The reason I took on this thread in OWB is simply this: I've noticed how many times folks have equated distraction with writer's block; it isn't writer's block but it's a contributor and one we might not be conscious of. Our brains are focused on the stress and discomfort and are sending us signals through our inability to focus on our writing that we need to make changes. It's the reason I suggest to other block sufferers that they might want to stop and try to figure out
why they're blocked.
