Advices for a good and comfortable work in front the computer/laptop

By Raúl Gorrín.-      Surely your work is done through your computer in the office or from your home under the modality of telecommuting. Anyway, if you work in from a computer, you will probably have to do these types of responsibilities such as:  work via e-mail, video conferencing, social networks and so on. Of course, you spend a good part of the day (more than you should).

     In the eyes of those who see it, you are an expert in the management of all this technology. Now, I have an important question, do you use your computer correctly? And  I talking about more than the  programs use that we want to refer to their behavior in front of the computer, because a proper use of your computer / laptop can increase your productivity and health. So, take a look of these useful recommendations. 

1)      Check the posture of your body while you are working. It is IMPORTANT to adopt the correct position to prevent cervical problems, back or headaches. However, spending long hours of immobility produces circulatory problems and sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of a heart attack. Some furniture can be adapted to work, but if you can’t access to this type of furniture, it is prudent to use some postures that can help you maintain your health.

2)      Take breaks, every 25 minutes and take breaks that last five minutes. Rest your eyes by looking at distant points every ten minutes in order to relax your eyes. During these breaks do a different activity, walk, take a snack and so on.

3)      The computer screen should be at eye level, avoid tilting up or down.

4)      The position of the keyboard should be at a 90 degree angle to your body.

5)      Work in a comfortable chair where you can adopt a straight back position and legs at right angles.

6)      Make adjustments to the brightness of your screen and according to the time of day you work.

7)      If you work alone, take advantage of the moments of rest to exchange with other people. This will increase your mood.

8)      Learn the typing technique so you do not have to look at the keyboard as you type, this will result in greater speed and less fatigue.
