Move your active window straight ahead
Whenyou switch to another long computer task
Move the window you will use most to the display area directly in front of you. If needed, turn your chair and whole body together toward that display.
Why it works
A second screen need not be the home of your main task. This is an ergonomic starting point, not a compulsory angle.
Start tiny
Drag the main window to the centre.
What you’ll notice
Your next task is in front of you.
When it slips
A laptop sits off to one side; make one screen primary for the task instead of repeatedly twisting between them.
SafetyKeep a comfortable viewing distance; stop adjustments that worsen symptoms.
