Q) Can you tell me the optimal or healthiest amount of hours a day to work in front of a laptop esp. considering screen glare etc.? ChatGPT
A) The optimal or healthiest amount of hours to work in front of a laptop varies depending on individual needs and circumstances, but the general recommendation is to limit prolonged screen time to no more than 2 hours at a time. Taking frequent breaks and doing eye exercises can also help reduce eye strain and discomfort. To avoid screen glare, it is best to adjust screen brightness, contrast, and position so that it does not cause reflection or discomfort. It's also a good idea to use anti-glare screen filters if necessary.

Q) SO I was on-point regarding the work 2 hours on then take a break...?
ChatGPT A) Yes, that's correct! Working for no more than 2 hours at a time and taking frequent breaks to rest your eyes and stretch your body is a good rule of thumb to follow when working on a laptop. This can help reduce the risk of eye strain, neck and back pain, and other physical and mental health issues associated with prolonged screen time. Additionally, it's important to maintain good posture and make sure your workstation is ergonomically set up to reduce the risk of physical discomfort.
Note: HI everyone its William here, so I recon after this conversation and my own 4 year experimenting I would have to agree with this and I ask all members + educators to comment and discuss further. Personally I have found working 2 hours on and 1 - 2 hours off to be most constructive.
What do you all think and what is your personal experience in this regard?
I would love to hear your comments and feedback.
I was thinking...
Yes it hurts! LOL
That if we implement a longer work week,
I.E.: More than the 40 current standard hours to maybe double..? Then we can work online, as our energy dictates.
So, If you work 2 hrs on, 1 hour off and you can successfully complete 10 - 20 hours online in a sober fashion, then that would be okay?
I personally enjoy doing house chores and gardening or hiking / walking on my time off, how do you fill the gaps in your schedule? If any?
Can you crunch 6 - 8 hours straight in font of the laptop?
Without back pain, or arm and wrist discomfort?
Heck I find eyestrain to be the worst...
I'll monitor comments below.

Q) Thanks! Please define ergonomics for me?
ChatGPT
A) Ergonomics is the scientific study of designing and arranging the work environment, tools, and tasks in a way that maximizes productivity while minimizing the risk of injury or discomfort. In the context of computer use, ergonomics involves setting up the workstation in a way that promotes good posture, reduces physical strain and discomfort, and minimizes the risk of repetitive stress injuries. This can involve adjusting the height and position of the screen, keyboard, and mouse, using an ergonomic chair, and taking regular breaks to stretch and move around. By practicing good ergonomics, you can help prevent physical discomfort and injury and improve your overall health and productivity.

ChatGPT
A) Sure! Prolonged screen time can have a number of physical and mental health effects, including:
