My back's been killing me from sitting too long on design projects

I've been working on a big branding job and spent hours hunched over my desk. Now when I try to look for new layout ideas, the pain just distracts me and kills my focus. How do you stay inspired when your body is screaming at you to stop?

You sat like that for hours?

Seriously? Sometimes you just get lost in a project and time flies. Your body just locks into whatever position lets you focus. It's not always about the chair or desk setup.

Totally get what you mean about getting lost in the work! I used to do the same thing until my back started killing me. Colegarcia has a point about setup being a big part of it though. I finally got a cheap monitor stand to raise my screen and it forced me to sit up straighter without even thinking about it. It made a huge difference after those long focus sessions.

Honestly "hours hunched over" might be more about your setup than the time.
