A comfortable chair that supports your spine

• If you spend hours at your desk each day, it’s worth investing in a great office chair that has that lumbar support.

• If you don’t want to invest in a new office chair at this time, a lumbar-support pillow and a seat cushion can transform even the most basic non-padded chair into something you can sit on comfortably for a few hours.

A desk set at the proper height for using your keyboard

• A height-adjustable desk can help you position your keyboard and monitor at the most comfortable height, whether you’re sitting or standing.

An external, ergonomic keyboard

• Most keyboards aren’t designed for this position and instead force your hands inward so your shoulders are hunched.

A mouse that fits your hand

• A responsive mouse that is comfortable to use will help to reduce strain on your hands.

A monitor display set at a comfortable height, within arm’s reach

• To protect your eyes from strain and fatigue, make sure you can see what’s on your monitor or laptop screen clearly, without having to crane or bend your neck.

• You can raise your laptop or monitor as needed with just about anything that’s flat and wide, like a stack of books. 

• But for more sturdiness and finer control over the height of your display, consider a laptop stand or monitor arm. 

Good lighting 

• Good lighting is important to reduce eye strain and avoid craning your neck at an unnatural angle.

  • Natural lighting in your workspace is ideal because it can boost your sense of well-being and energy while reducing eye strain
