We’ve all heard of the “ergonomic” terms. Most sources claims that by living ergonomic will be beneficial, claiming that it will helps us to reduce stress, increase productivity and many more especially those that work in offices.

To have ergonomic, it’s making sure that your office, desk, bench, pod — whatever — fits your physical needs. This is important for those of us who are staring at a computer for hours on end. In fact, the average adult spends 50-70% of their work day sitting down.

Thus the feeling “drained” is very common to us all. It feels like we’ve been hunched over a screen, not seeing daylight all day long. That’s why it’s important that we are making the most of our time at our desks, and sitting in the healthiest way possible. But how effective ergonomic really is? It is really important indeed especially on increasing productivity and performance.

Here are some tips on how to increase a better workplace with ergonomic.

Place Your Arms at a Right Angle

Your arms should be relaxed at your side, in a right angle reaching out to your keyboard. This means that your keyboard should be at the right height to make this happen. Keep your wrists straight, and your arms should be supported, by arm rests or something similar. If they aren’t, your neck and shoulder muscles will strain!

Take Breaks
Take breaks to keep yourself at attention and to give your body some energy. Do you know that by having little breaks, it helps to combat fatigue. When you take a break for 5 minutes, your energy will be regain and you’ll be more productive after quick rest.

For every 30 minutes, try to look away from your computer for several seconds. If you work too long without resting your eyes, it will lead to difficulty focusing, headaches, eye discomfort, blurred vision, dry eyes, and itchy eyes. This happens because looking at a screen for an extended period of time causes you to blink less, which deprives your eyes of moisture.

Get a Quality Chair & Desk

A good chair should allow the users to sit up without their own realization. It should support the lower back. It should not strain the users and ensure that it gets comfortable length from the desk. If it doesn’t, it’s time to consider on investing a good ergonomic chair.

Asides of ergonomic chair, an adjustable desk may help user to be more productive. By working while standing and move around a lot during work is believed to burn more calories. Without us realizing it, working while standing can burn 50 more calories rather than sitting
per hour.

Keep Your Monitor at Eye Level

The top of your screen should not be much higher or lower than your eyes. Work with an adjustable desk! Asides of burning calories, standing while working keeps you from hunching over or slouching as you tap away on your keyboard. The simple act of standing will also improve your core strength, leading to better overall posture.
