Change posture, but also get up and move around. Take breaks away from the screen to let your eyes rest.
Of course doing this can also mess up the flow of ideas sometimes. Nothing worse than coming back and trying to recapture the zone you were in.
get a motorized height adjustable standing desk, an egg timer and a slow treadmill, set the timer to 16 minutes and 43 seconds, every time the timer runs out, rotate between standing position, sitting position and walking position while resetting the timer.
When you're ready to level up, upgrade from just an office chair for the sitting positon to a mixture of office chair, saddle chair, prayer mat and stout 19th century four-legged wooden stool certified handmade in the russian far east. Rotation as follows:
standing -> office chair -> treadmill -> saddle chair -> standing -> prayer mat -> treadmill -> flat stool -> repeat.
When you're ready for the endgame, upgrade from an egg timer to a stochastic bell timer powered by a brass cyclograph. This eliminates any possible linear relationship with your BRAC cycle, ensuring a well-rounded dynamic stress regimen.
At which level are you currently? I am level 2.
I've got the fourth Sharma, I used points to get a large Austrian man to walk over the left side of my body.
Yeah ideally once an hour you get up and bring something far away into focus for a bit, stretch your eyes the other way. Stretching whatever else whenever you can etc..
I changed my typing habits too.
That's every 10 minutes for looking at something far away
