Do you carry your laptop from room to room?

Yeah…about that…

According to Huff Post, you shouldn’t be balancing your laptop on ONE HAND when you walk around…and not just because you might drop it.

Most laptops only weigh three or four pounds now.  But it adds up over time and can lead to a condition called “mommy’s wrist“…tendonitis in your wrist and thumb (Moms get it when carrying babies, too).

Instead, close your laptop and carry it like a book or if you need to keep it open, use both hands to carry it.

One more thing:  If you’re taking your computer bag somewhere (or any shoulder bag or purse) it shouldn’t weigh more than 10% of your body weight because it can cause posture and hip issues…so there’s that, too!

It’s even more important for kids and backpacks are better in general because they distribute the weight a lot more evenly.
