How can I force myself to sit properly while working? I'm just not comfortable with my feet on the floor and usually sit cross legged or with my feet up on the seat. After working 12 hours straight and literally no walking except to the kitchen and bathroom for days on end, it's starting to take it's toll. Tips would be appreciated!

Force yourself to at least get up during the day. I have a Fitbit that reminds me every hour to move. Stand, walk, stretch. At least give your body to get out of the bad position.

Maybe also get an app or device that reminds you to correct your posture.

12 hours a day of bad posture like that can quickly lead to irreparable damage. You don't want chronic or other back problems. And even temporary issues are a pain to correct with weeks or months of stretching or physical therapy.

The standing desk changed my life. It’s not automatically easy, but it gets easier. And my back pain is gone.

I do the same thing. I put my yoga mat out next to my desk and while it’s not at all where it belongs it being right there helps me to get up to stretch randomly and it’s helped a lot. And a footstool as someone else above said.

Recalling my first onboarding meeting in-house with the c - suite. Thinking back now recalling that they would often mention if someone they are referring to is a woman. For example, "Oh we have these two women doing x, y, and z and they do it well, a well-oiled machine." etc. I was the only woman in the room. They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?
