11 Posture Fixes for the Indian Work-From-Home Generation

10. Use habit cues to break slouching

Habits beat good intentions because they run on autopilot. Use cues you already have — a chai break, the arrival of the tiffin, or a daily prayer time — to remind you to reset posture. Put a small mirror on your desk so you can glance at alignment during long calls. Set an hourly alarm named “posture reset” and do two chin tucks and a shoulder squeeze when it rings. Pair posture checks with pleasant routines so the change feels natural; for example, take three deep breaths and do a quick stretch while your tea brews. Over weeks, the posture reset becomes automatic and your back and neck feel less strained.
