I have found the use of e-ink screens has not only given my eyes a rest, but reduced distraction as well. Short review of what I've tried: POMERA/KINGJIM: https://kingjim.us/products/pomera-full-suite-typewriter-for... This is great and pocket sized, but the keyboard is rather small. Very simple text based file system, I haven't tried their software and just use the microSD. Fits in a pocket neatly which is great. RE…

Get glasses with the correct focal length for the distance you have your screen at. It makes a huge difference.
I blame the GUI. Sure, the GUI did great things for us, but I don’t think it evolved with sufficient attention paid to physical ergonomics. I get massive eye strain headaches when I use software that requires close hand-eye coordination and fine mouse work, such as CAD.
I can spot the CAD and data entry operators in a workplace because they’re wearing carpal tunnel braces.
Anything that’s purely text based, such as programming is massively more ergonomic. I can type while only minimally focusing on the screen, and can often close my eyes or look away. Between typing, and keyboard shortcuts, I can minimize mouse use.
Do smaller screens help? I've never really bought into the big screen craze, I've been happy using a little eeepc screen for years before, and have always preferred laptop size screens generally. I have a feeling that luminous screen filling a smaller percentage of my field of vision is probably an ergonomic win, contrary to expectations.

What's the refresh like on that monitor? Could it be used for terminal-based work or is it too slow? I have a boox go tablet for reading oreilly and honestly the device is so slow and clanky that I've only turned it on maybe a dozen times
