How to take action after listening to this episode:

Fix your working posture! Specifically, if you are standing, focus on unlocking your knees. Put one foot three or four inches in front of the other and shift a little of that weight to your front foot. If you are sitting, think about getting your arms into that close position where your elbows are close to your side and your hands are not extended too far forward to reach for the keyboard. Fit your workspace to YOU, not the other way around.
