If your neck aches in the evening, your hands hurt from pinched nerves, it seems to you that your place is not properly arranged, the work is tiring before it has even begun, then this post is for you. In it, we will tell you how to make the workplace not only comfortable, but also not dangerous to health and life.

1. Raise the laptop to eye level

If you work on a laptop every day for a long time, you should have noticed that the neck lets you know that it is not good. At least 8 hours a day looking below eye level is a real torture for the vertebrae and neck muscles. Buy or make yourself a laptop stand and raise it to eye level. Straighten up at last!

2. If possible, use a "standing" table

There are such tables at which you can not only work sitting, but also standing. The combination of body position throughout the working day will help you stay fresher and more cheerful.

3. Rest more

You load your neck, back and lower back for 8-18 hours a day, or even more. And many people allocate 4-6 hours for rest. Increase your sleep time and let your body rest!

4. Buy a GOOD mouse and keyboard

Pay attention to the ergonomic models of mice and keyboards. No need to buy the latest model of a fashionable mouse from Apple and suffer from wrist disease. Choose a comfortable mouse, such as Revolution MX, and a keyboard, such as models from Microsoft, and understand that the white color that your mac likes so much does not like your joints.

5. Sit in front of the computer correctly

Forbid yourself to work on the couch and in bed. Buy a chair with height and tilt adjustment with support for the back and head. The monitor should be on the same level with the eyes. The mouse and keyboard should be at such a level that the elbows are at an angle of 90.

6. Prevent carpal tunnel syndrome

Read more about this disease of keyboard and mouse warriors in Wikipedia, and you can prevent it with simple exercises:

7. Plan your workplace for science

The Workspace Planner web application will help you to perfectly configure your desktop settings.

8. Use control programs

Are you too involved in work and do not notice how the hours of sitting motionless at the table fly by? Then install work and rest time monitoring programs. For macs, this is AntiRSI and Timeout, and for PC — Workrave (our article about the program).

9. Take care of your eyes

Buy a good monitor, turn on font smoothing, increase their size, use contrast design, do eye exercises. For Windows users, there is a special program EyeDefender, which organizes a break and prompts charging for the eyes.
