I sit at the computer a lot and recently I began to notice that my back and eyes began to hurt, and I realized that I needed to start doing something and I started to google, for a long time I could not find something really worthwhile, but then I came across an article https://creativepool.com/anna-koretskaya/articles/important-tips-on-staying-healthy-while-spending-a-lot-of-time-working-on-a-computer.27370 and decided to read, I really found many different useful life hacks and tips
