Support is physically noticeable
Sitting with your back to the door means working against a small permanent alarm. Every few minutes the body checks whether something is happening behind you.
A thirty-second test
Sit down at your desk and answer:
- Can I see the door without turning my head?
- Is there a wall or a solid element behind me?
- Is my first glance when looking up calm or restless?
Two "no" answers explain a lot of heavy mornings.
What often suffices
Turn the desk ninety degrees. A shelf as a back. One screen less in view. Cost: nothing.
