Any advice on reducing neck and shoulder pain while studying? For me that’s my biggest blocker to being able to focus longer (especially for math, where I have to look down at my notes/book for a long period of time). I’m considering stuff like getting a standing desk or doing regular back/shoulder exercises. Would like to hear what everyone else’s setups are.
Train skill of noticing tension and focus on it. Tends to dissolve. No that’s not so satisfying but it works. Standing desk can help but it’s just not that comfortable for most.
I still have lots of neck and shoulder tension, but the only thing I’ve found that can reliably lessen it is doing some hard work on a punching bag for about 20 minutes every day, especially hard straights and jabs with full extension.

I’ve used Pain Science in the past as a resource and highly, highly endorse it. Here is an article they have on neck pain.
