An ergonomic workspace reduces back pain, fatigue, and improves productivity. Let’s set one up right!
Your desk should allow your forearms to rest parallel to the floor. Ideal height: 28-30 inches.
Opt for an adjustable chair that supports your lower back. Keep your feet flat on the floor.
Place your monitor at eye level, about 20 inches from your face. This helps prevent neck strain.
Position your keyboard and mouse close to your body to keep your wrists straight and elbows at 90 degrees.
Sit back in your chair with your back supported, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the ground.
Consider adding a footrest, lumbar cushion, or a monitor stand to improve comfort.
For every 30 minutes of sitting, stand and stretch for 5 minutes. Frequent breaks prevent fatigue and stiffness.
Ensure your workspace has good lighting to reduce eye strain. Natural light is ideal, but desk lamps work too.
