I started using a cheap paint roller grid instead of a hawk for small patches and it saved my back on a kitchen ceiling job last month.

Actually, a roller grid and a hawk serve different purposes. A hawk holds mud for taping, not paint for rolling. The grid is just a different way to load a roller.

That's a clever hack! I've used a clean roller tray for the same reason, it keeps everything contained and at a comfortable height. Really anything that saves your back is worth trying.

Totally, a step stool works great too.
