Been studying at the kitchen table most nights for the cert exam, notes flat on the page, and my neck was doing the same forward thing it does at work, chin down too long.
Grabbed the plastic recipe stand off the counter and propped the notes up at eye level instead, same spot, same lamp, just angled now.
Did it for 6 nights, about 30 minutes each time, and the tightness at the base of my neck wasn’t there by the end of the week like it usually is after a study week.
What felt different –
– chin stayed level instead of tucked down
– shoulders didn’t creep forward as much
– hands weren’t numb from leaning on my elbows
Still flat for anything I’m actually writing, the stand’s just for reading pages.
