Desk Pilots: Navigating a Healthy Flight Plan for Your Posture and Well-being
summary
Workplace claims: humans spend ~80,000 hours at desks and 85% get an occupational health complaint. Practical setup rules include 50–100 cm monitor distance, top of screen at eye level, elbows at 90° with wrists straight, thighs parallel and feet flat, and a chair with lower‑back support; cheap fixes include a laptop stand or anti‑glare filter. Behavioral rules: set a 55‑minute timer and take a 5‑minute break every hour to walk, do leg lifts or eye focus, and perform warmups/cooldowns like neck rolls, shoulder rolls and the chest opener stretch.
