An Ergonomic home
office is
nothing but a combination of all the ergonomic furniture
complete in all respects. Most important thing in
ergonomic home office is you need to think right from the
design stage on all aspects of your home office. Usually,
a person with an office at home tend to work long hours
sitting. Safety and clear pathways should be at the top of your
mind while designing an ergonomic home
office.
Ensure that
scissors, steplers and other sharp edge office equipment is
always out of reach of the kids. Other things about an
ergonomic home office to be considered
are:
- An
Ergonomic Chair - Should be taken after due consideration
of all the aspects defined in the article on ergonomic
chair.
- An
Ergonomic Desk - You can design one for yourself if you
like, otherwise you have ample choice in the
market.
- Lighting - The most neglected aspect of
an ergonomic home office. There should not be any glare on
your computer monitor and light should not directly
fall into your eyes.
- Ergonomic Keyboard - Look for good
quality ergonomic keyboard. The money invested will
be savved over time by paying lesser visits to
doctors.
- Ergonomic Mouse - Buy one now. Do not
think much over it. It will pay you back hundred times
over.
- If
working on laptop keep it close to have the right typing
posture. Also elevate it slightly to bring the levvel of
the screen parallel to your eyes. If possible, use an
external keyboard and mouse with a laptop. It will help in
the long run.
Other
than that, since you are now working from home and may not find
iit necessary to get up regularly to a colleague's desk like
you used to do in office, it is absolutely necessary that you
take frequent breaks inbetween. Fix a timer, download an alarm
on you computer, there are many available in free, just search
for it. Fix it to play alarm every 45 minutes to an hour and
force yourself tto get upand take a 5 minute break. This is
very very important. Remember, all the
devices listed for
your ergonomic home office are of no use
if you do not take breaks.
