Organizing Your Adjustments

J

AVOID!

Your choice of posture within your comfort zone may vary with your task. For example, you may find a reclined posture most comfortable for computer tasks, and a more upright posture more comfortable for tasks requiring frequent reference to papers or books.

The order in which you make various adjustments to your body position and work area may vary depending on the adjustability of your furniture. For tips on how to order your adjustments see the section Arranging Your Work Area on page 10.

HINT: THAT AFTERNOON SLUMP: Pay particular attention to adjusting your posture in the afternoon when you may tend to get fatigued.

HINT: EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED: When you reposition any one part of your body, you may need to adjust other parts as well.
