猫咪社区官网 Office Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Suggestions

Table / Desk

desk

Select a proper work surface such as the dining table or kitchen countertop. 

If a sit-to-stand type of work deskis desired, use firm boxes or step stools to place the laptop or monitor on the work surface to attain the appropriate height for standing work. 

Ensure the edge of the work surface is not sharp. Sharp edges can cause pressure points on wrists and forearms. Lining the work surface edges with a table edge protector could provide a simple solution to this.

External Accessories

Try connecting your personal computer monitor or TV screen to the laptop. Laptops or monitors that are positioned too low can be raised using books, boxes, or reams of paper.

Use a footrest if the feet do not rest flat on the floor. Footrests can be purchased or made by using sturdy boxes, reams of paper, step stools, etc. The aim is to have a right angle at the knees and hips with feet comfortably supported.

Use a headphone with a microphone for teleconference calls or to reduce outside noise while working. When possible, use the time during the calls to stand up, walk, and stretch.
