Tips for Working from Home
|
1 |
Maintain your schedule and set specific work hours. Getting into a good routine helps you to be motivated and efficient. |
2 |
Take time to set up a designated work-space. Work in an area that allows you to be productive while limiting distractions. Select an area that will allow you to work on your computer/laptop in a comfortable and ergonomic posture. Set it up properly from the start !! THIS IS KEY. |
3 |
Refrain from “couch slouching” and other non-conventional chairs when working on the computer. This often leads to a poor work posture/position while increasing musculoskeletal stress and strain. |
4 |
Take short breaks but refrain from distractions of errands and chores. Set specific time aside to include micro ergonomic breaks and macro breaks such as stretching or an invigorating walk. |
5 |
Be mindful of “grazing” in the kitchen, especially unhealthy snacks. Take opportunity to pre-fix healthy snacks of fruits and vegetables and stay hydrated. |
6 |
Identify a good chair that best fits and supports a seated work position. If possible, try to find an area that will also allow for periodic standing work positions. When necessary, be creative to fit and support your needs. |
