How to Make your Malvern, Armadale or Caulfield Home Office more Ergonomic
Working in your Malvern or Armadale house can be great, especially as you can enjoy the freedom of sitting with your laptop on the couch, dressed in pyjamas and instead of stuck to a computer desk in a large workspace all day. You might soon find, however, that the couch in your Caulfield living room isn't as comfortable as it could be, especially when you spend a few hours there hunched over a small laptop. In reality, the home office needs to be set up as professionally as the official workplace in order to protect your health and foster your productivity.
The key to creating a home office in your Armadale or Malvern home that is comfortable and beneficial for your health is designing with ergonomics in mind. To create an ergonomic home office, it is necessary to consider the postural benefits of every piece of furniture you purchase for your Caulfield house, by making sure that everything is at the right height and distance for your body.
As well as posture, you need to consider the strain working at a computer puts on your eyes. If your computer monitor is too close or too far from your eyes in your Malvern work space, then your eyes will become tired after just a couple of hours of work, and your productivity will slow down significantly.
Many of us use laptops instead of PCs in our domestic work space because they are much more compact and more convenient to move from room to room. Laptops are handy, but they can also be quite detrimental to our health as they force us to look down instead of straight ahead. To solve this ergonomic problem in your Armadale or Caulfield home office you can either mount the laptop and use an extra keyboard, or connect your laptop to a larger, more permanent computer monitor.
