3 Overlooked Home Office Upgrades That Save Your Neck (And Wallet)

Your $200 chair isn't fixing your posture. Try these instead:

1️⃣ Monitor at Eye Level – Stack books under your laptop? Bad. A $15 laptop stand + external keyboard fixes neck strain instantly.

2️⃣ Footrest Hack – Use a small cardboard box or a rolled-up towel. Elevates legs, reduces lower back pressure. Zero cost.

3️⃣ Blue Light Filtering – Skip the $50 glasses. Enable "Night Shift" (Mac) or "Night Light" (Windows) + use a red bulb for late-night work. Saves eyes and money.
