I was sitting up to 14 hrs/day at my computer. Both my mind & body were going into catatonic states. I am still in front of my computer far too many hours (as a graphic designer), but have mitigated the impact with a new electric sit/stand table and an app on my computer called BreakTime. The program goes off every 25 min and puts my computer on hold for 2 minutes. At this point, I raise or lower the table alternately so that I'm now sitting or standing for 25 min. It's helped my mental state enormously! And it gets me up to walk around for a couple of minutes while my computer is out of commission.
I am sitting atleast 10 hrs a day in front of my computer. I know this is not good but I am not getting a proper solution to it. Anyone?
