Forward sitting--many ergonomic texts advise sitting fully upright, with the knees and hips bent to 90 degrees (right angles). Forward sitting passively places your pelvis forward, creating a natural inward curve of your lower back and shifting weight onto the legs. This supports the weight of the whole body in sitting without fatiguing the back muscles.
Micro-pause timers for computer use--these timers monitor time on the computer, time spent using a mouse/pointing device, and number of keystrokes to try and prevent overuse. Ideally, take a 10 second microbreak every 10 minutes to allow your body to 'recharge'. Both of these programs are free for personal use.
