We spend a large part of our day working, at home or at the office. A good posture, enough movement, and a pleasant workspace save you a lot of back, neck, and eye issues in the evening. A few concrete tips.
Posture and workspace
Set your monitor at eye level, keep your thighs parallel to the floor, and place your feet flat on the ground. Do your feet dangle? An ergonomic footrest relieves pressure on your lower back and keeps your legs settled — the adjustable footrest is a great start.
Take breaks
Get up at least once an hour, stretch, walk around a bit. This relaxes your muscles and keeps your mind clear. Short breaks work better than one long one.
Eyes, light, and screen
Work in daylight where possible. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something about 6 meters away for 20 seconds. Turn on a blue light filter or night mode in the evening.
Drinks and snacks
Keep a bottle of water within reach and choose snacks like nuts or fruit. Sounds simple, but it really helps your energy levels by mid-afternoon.
Tidy up your desk
A cluttered desk feels unsettling — and loose cables are the biggest culprit. In our guide hiding cables under your desk we compare 7 methods (cable box, cable channel, sleeve, and more); a cable box is the quickest.
Small changes, big difference. Check out our ergonomic footrests here for a more comfortable workday.
