When you're tired at work, productivity levels tend to drop quickly. Lucky for you, there are ways to effectively fight back. Today we'll highlight the tips, tricks, and strategies needed to keep you ergonomically correct and refreshed. From sitting properly to taking short breaks, we've got you covered.
Fatigue is ready, willing, and able to strike at a moments notice. That's why it's absolutely essential to form the sitting habits needed to ensure you're ready to adjust efficiently to combat this office enemy.
Office comfort starts with good posture habits. Have you taken the time to analyze your sit from the ground up? It only takes a minute! Don't worry, we'll help you out. First things first, you've gotta check your feet placement.
If you're using the base of your office chair as a foot rest, blood flow is restricted and fatigue will have a direct path into your work day. The solution is to keep your feet flat on the ground and facing forward. It's simple, easy, and effective.
When computing at your desk, are you leaning forward and away from your ergonomic office chair to type? If so, you're missing out on the key support need to strategically fight fatigue. Keeping your back in contact with the chair at all times is a must. This might require adjusting the angle at which you sit by using the levers located underneath your chair on the mechanism.
Are you looking downward at your computer screen when operating at your personal workstation throughout the day? This puts a lot of strain on the neck and upper back. Thankfully, there's a quick and free strategy that can get you over this common hurdle.
You'll want to raise your monitors up to eye level. This can be done with a shoe box or stack of books. If you do want to invest in your ergonomic capabilities, an adjustable computer screen mounting system is the professional solution. We recommend those from reputable brands like ESI Ergonomic Solutions, Symmetry Office, and Mayline. They attach in minutes and provide exceptional versatility.
Workers often think that by doing less, fatigue will be easier to fight. This is not an effective strategy. That's why, industry leading ergonomic brands have introduced adjustable sit to stand desks and surface attachments. They promote continuous movement in the workplace.
As sitting for long periods of time can actually shorten your life span, it's smart to employ a sit to stand strategy that can be effectively used throughout your work day. Once every hour, you need to stand up to stretch out those muscles. Doing so will make you feel refreshed as it gets the blood pumping. With a sit to stand station, you'll be able to just that without productivity levels dropping. Those considering the purchase of a sit to stand desktop riser like the 5100 model from OFM or the VariDesk should definitely go for it. When used properly, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. They definitely make a noticeable difference.
In truth, you still need to take short breaks throughout the day. It's a smart strategy that is often considered an impossibility, but should't be. Make it your mission to get outside at least once for some fresh air. Take a walk. Grab a water to stay hydrated. Spend a little time away from your workstation to keep fatigue at bay.
