    Buying a GOOD computer chair. You don’t know the pain you’re causing yourself until you wake up with a sore lower back.

      That is an important one and I’ll expand on it slightly…I spend probably 80% of my time either sleeping, sitting in front of the computer, or out walking around. Consequentially, the most comfortable and expensive things I own are my mattress, my office chair, and my shoes. Spend your money where it matters.

      I managed to get a Steelcase chair off Craigslist for a great price and it has changed my home office life. I could sit in that chair 24/7 and still be comfortable. And they replaced a broken part for free even though I wasn’t the original buyer.

      Adding to this, beware of progressive lenses. Get dedicated readers if you need them for the distance of your screen so you don’t have to tilt your head even a little.
