Only working style which exist is to go straight to desk and do it like a man…not like a lizard:) BTW this is a good idea to remember when in travel.

Nice. I still haven’t been to India. Would love to go.

I sit with my laptop on the sofa too. It seems that the key issue is where the screen is. If the screen is low, we will look down in order to see. So raising your legs and placing your laptop on your legs so that the screen is higher should stop you looking down.

Hi Kevin,

As I sit with my laptop in my lap – in the middle of the jungles of India – this indeed is a timely reminder ;)

I never would have thought the lie down would be the optical position. Fascinating.

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah that’s what I mean. Today’s newsletter is delivered weekly and includes all posts that have been published over the last week. The Rise Forums email only focused on one topic.

They are different things. One is a newsletter, one can be classified as an email blast. I’m happy to share the click through rate tomorrow (that will give a more accurate look at the CTR).

For a true comparison, I would have to send an email to subscribers that was specifically about this post. But the CTR is bound to be higher as I am not asking people to pull out their wallets :)

In reply to David. I didn't email about this post. It would have been included in today's newsletter together with other posts; however I did not email all subscribers about it as it is not important enough.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for sharing!

Do let us know the click through rates for this article, as compared to the low rates you experienced resently with the Rise Forums email. I bet the CTR is quite high with this article here.

Regards from Greece,
David

In reply to Kris. As Joseph points out, an overheated laptop is not good in that position:)

In reply to Joseph Daniels.

That’s something I hadn’t even thought about it. Men’s testicles are very sensitive in that regard. For example, did you know that a trip to the sauna will lower your sperm count for months. Apparently, it’s because the temperature of the testis are raised by 3 degrees.

So I can believe that a warm laptop will do damage too.
