It bears repeating: according to the handbook for designers Iʼm currently reading, the two main reasons for designers becoming incapable of doing their work, are

1. mental health
2. back problems.

If you ask me, your dear proprietor of Code and Canvas, the after-hours tumblog about this and that, these issues are caused by self-neglect.

Maybe collecting more data on health in the workplace, especially as self-employed designers is a good idea?

I have some notes on how to set up my workplace ergonomically, and a few others about how to avoid feeling like shit.

Iʼll see where these notes lead to, say in six months from now.
