I think it is virtually impossible not to slouch if you have been sitting at a computer for a while. I had no idea bad posture was related to poor grades.

Liz, yeah it’s a pretty safe bet that a blogging convention would highly resemble a geriatric ward get-together, isn’t it?

Um, Alicia? Are you spying on me??? That sounds exactly like me, too.

Ever the over-achiever, I like to alternate my poor posture positions between something reminiscent of the pic above and the Upright Fetal like you. It’s nice to have options, yanno?

How did you do today, A’Llyn? This is no joke, every time I slouched today I thought about you and some other computer slumpers straightening up, too. For some inexplicable reason, it helped to have “friends” going through the same thing!!

Off to sit with my back against the wall…

Great tips Liberty. I’d hazard a guess that most of use ‘bloggers’ maintain a similar position to the guy in the picture…obviously something to work on.

Hmm…wonder what research has to say about someone who sits in what can only be described as pretty much an upright fetal position each time she’s at her desk, i.e. me, lol.

I definitely need to work on my posture.

I’m with ya! I’m constantly trying to remind myself to sit up straight at my desk. It takes frequent reminders, but I try to keep at it.

Hearing that it allows me to focus better will just encourage me.
