Home office hacks

1. Adjust your monitor or place your laptop on a stand (or stacked books) at eye level.
2. Try an ergonomic keyboard and a vertical mouse. They keep your hands in a natural position for more comfort and less strain.
3. Do some of your tasks while standing. Consider a desk that can be raised or lowered for standing or sitting.
4. Use an adjustable chair with back and arm support.
5. Use a document holder that raises reading materials to eye level.
6. Use a headset phone to reduce neck and shoulder strain.
7. Get up and move around every 20 to 30 minutes.
