Quick Tips to Remember at Your Desk

  • Don't bend your wrists while typing. Keep your wrists in a straight position, not flexed or bent.

  • Maintain good posture. Sit back in your chair, not on the edge. Keep your feet flat on the floor or use a footrest. 

  • Relax your shoulders. 

  • Position your mouse next to, and the same height as, your keyboard. Keep it close to your body, try not to reach too far for your mouse. 

  • Adjust your computer screen for your eyes. Give your eyes a break by looking away from the screen and focusing on a distant object.
