Laying on the bed with your laptop can only lead to unwanted naps, so here’s how to make work
from home a little easier during your lockdowns.
Essentials
Your environment should be:
- Minimalistic
- Uncluttered
- Free of distractions
- Good lighting
- An open window if you have one next to you for oxygen to the brain
What should you keep in mind while selecting a spot for your WFH desk?
- Try and select a spot in your home where people won’t disturb you too much but you will still get
an electric point for your chargers etc. - We can’t stress enough about a good chair with correct back support. This is will crucial to whether
you will be able to work for a longer span of time or not - Try and select a space that you won’t need to clear up every day and that can be a constant for the
next 3-4 weeks
People who don’t have a desk at home, and choose spaces like a dining table.
Are there ways to accessorise it?
- A good desk lamp if you don’t have sufficient overhead lighting.
- A small calming scent like lavender always does the trick for being stress-free and always feeling
fresh - A desk plant for added oxygen and because they are so pretty
The ergonomic desk and chair are inclusive by design because it embraces different bodies. It
distributes the body weight of each user uniformly to ensure there are no blood clots. It
contours the body at the right points to offer great comfort and support. Ergonomic design
accommodates a wide range of body types and therefore, respects diversity. It also
increases productivity by raising the comfort level of the user so that they can do their best
work.
Apart from being aesthetically appealing, the design also has to be practical and safe. Only
when all these three conditions are met, can we call the design ergonomic.
