Feet must touch the ground or rest on a stool when sitting.

Keep an upright posture.

Hold eyes level with the screen.

Forearms should be parallel to the floor.

Relax shoulder blades.

Rest the eyes by looking away from the screen as often as possible.

Take a break at least every 20 minutes.

Stretch and move in the seat, or preferably, when standing.

Watch for warning signs, such as headaches, fatigue, muscle pain or cramping.
