1. Ergonomics
Start with an ergonomic foundation. This is not only comfortable but also essential for preventing physical complaints.
- Chair and desk: Ensure you have a chair that supports your back and a desk that is at the right height. Your feet should be flat on the floor and your arms at a 90-degree angle.
- Monitor: Position your monitor at eye level to prevent neck and back issues. The screen should be at arm's length.
- Keyboard and mouse: Place your keyboard and mouse at a comfortable height to keep your wrists straight and avoid strain.
2. Organised workstation
An organised workspace boosts efficiency and reduces stress. It’s time to declutter!
- Storage: Utilize drawers, shelves and storage systems to keep your desk tidy. Only keep the items you need daily within reach.
- Cable management: Control your cables with binders and cable trays to avoid clutter and chaos.
- Personal touch: Add personal items such as plants or photos to make your workplace cozy and motivating.
3. Lighting and air quality
Good lighting and fresh air are crucial for your comfort and focus.
- Lighting: Combine natural and artificial light. A desk lamp with adjustable brightness can make a significant difference.
- Air quality: Keep the air fresh by opening windows regularly or using an air purifier to maintain a healthy working environment.
4. Noise reduction
Noise reduction can enhance your focus and well-being.
- Hearing protection: Consider using earplugs to reduce distracting sounds without completely isolating yourself from the world.
5. Breaks and exercise
Prolonged sitting is detrimental to your health. Incorporate movement into your daily routine to maintain high energy levels.
- Stand-up desk: An adjustable desk allows you to alternate between sitting and standing, benefiting your back and legs.
