Working Comfortably
Use the guidelines to create a comfortable work environment:
Use good posture. Keep your elbows, hips, and knees bent at approximately 90 degree angles and keep your wrists as close to horizontal as possible.
Vary your posture often and take frequent breaks. Stand up, stretch, and move around.
Use a good chair. Make sure your chair supports your lower back. Padded armrests let you rest your arms as you work.
If you use a copy stand, keep it at the same eye level as your screen. This reduces eye and neck strain. Also, rest your eyes occasionally by closing them or focusing on a fixed spot in the distance.
