My IT buddy set me straight about monitor alignment

Mark from down the hall saw me constantly tilting my head between screens and just walked over, grabbed my right monitor, and dropped it a full 2 inches. Said 'your eyes aren't level, so why are your monitors?' Two weeks later I still feel stupid for not thinking of that myself. Has anyone else had a simple adjustment like that completely change their workflow?

My buddy Dave spent six months with his neck in a weird angle before his wife came into his home office and just slid his keyboard tray over an inch to the left. Said it looked like his shoulder was trying to escape his body while he typed. He laughed it off but two days later told me his wrist pain was completely gone. Still gives her credit every time someone asks about his ergonomic setup.

Man, sometimes it really is that simple.
