If you work at a desk, avoid slouching, and don't get stuck in one position for hours on end; it's bad for your posture. Change your position: don't bend over your work all the time, but lean back when you're reading through something. Sit up straight when you are typing.
When you're sitting at your chair, try to keep your shoulders straight. From time to time you should stretch your neck muscles and relax your shoulders. Tilt your chair forward so that your knees are lower than your hips.
Keep both feet flat on the floor, Not pulled back under your chair. Crossing your legs will twist your spine and put pressure on your knees and hips. If your feet don't reach the floor, put them on a low stool.
Finally, make sure that your chair is adjusted to the right height so that your eyes are level with the screen.
