In reply to Elizabeth. Desk work is indeed tiring, even though it doesn't look as though it should be. I'm glad you're getting some time to do yoga, Elizabeth.

This makes so much sense! My partner is a contractor and comes home exhausted from physical exertion. In comparison, I often feel like I have no reason to be as exhausted since I am “just” sitting at my computer most of the day. I do get up and go to coffee shops and practise yoga, but I am still surprised by how tired I get by the end of a day of deskwork

In reply to Jagadish Kumar. I wrote this column because many people believe that sitting at a desk can't possibly be tiring. But, of course, it is! Glad my suggestions resonated with you!

Dear Daphne, I was moved by your statement that movement makes us think clear. Because, I myself experienced it many times. Even a very small gap away from the screen helped me to write down differently. Moreover, I also liked your suggestion of drinking water frequently and keep ourselves hydrated. The fact that it will make you get up to go to the bathroom also helps us move and come back new. Thanks a lot for your healthy suggestions.
