Use an adjustable workstation that lets you switch between sitting and standing during the day, often aiming for roughly half the work time in each position. Raise the monitor so the screen is at about eye level while standing to keep posture neutral and reduce the tendency to slump. The main benefit is to break up prolonged sitting while supporting alertness and comfort during desk work.
