Don't leave me to my own devices

There seems to be some correlation between sitting posture/eye-alignment to screen and mood changes. Slouching about makes for some procrastination and makes your brain a noisy void; sitting up at the table of proper height gives the thought processes more clarity.

Your habits interfere in your affairs. Having the television on drives away concentration but someone talking on the phone nearby isn't as bad. A messy desk appears to be fine but the mind is conscious of the clutter and stops you from being your creative best. A chair adjusted too low results in the edge of the palm-rest cutting into your wrists and less typing moxie. Putting snacks nearby pulls you away from your throne now and then. Through the windows people crossing the overhead bridge unknowingly demand your attention. The repeated swiping motions you make on your touchpad taut and restrict your muscles. You strain to see the bright screen in low lighting. Your brow tenses. Your eyes get dry, and bloodshot from the rubbing thereafter.

Your habits become you.

Today's newspapers. What in the world? And there it lies, proudly, as the headlines.
