Mount Your Second Monitor Above Your Main One To Reduce Distractions

Mount Your Second Monitor Above Your Main One To Reduce DistractionsIf you do a lot of multitasking on a desktop computer, a second monitor can be a great way to increase productivity. It can also increase distractions. If you're like me and find yourself paying more attention to IM conversations, Netflix, or Twitter on your second display, I've found mounting it above your main one can help.

It may sound counterintuitive, but having a second monitor above your primary display is uncomfortable. Looking up to check Twitter or to glance at the episode of House of Cards you have running is a strain on your neck. While working like this eight hours a day would obviously destroy your posture, a quick glance is no big deal. After a moment or two, that stress serves as a physical reminder to tilt your head down and get back to work.

To mount the monitor above your second one, you can either use a treadmill stand behind your main desk, or use TV wall mounts.
