Ergonomic information

Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. For example, adapting to the surrounding light sources, proper seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you improve your performance and achieve greater comfort.

The following example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well.

General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent, short breaks from your work also help to prevent minor discomfort associated with your working posture.
