Definitely not a good choice when WFH. Slouching, (see above) crossing your legs, leaning forward to type on the coffee table, or even laying on your stomach does not promote anything but an unhealthy posture, increased muscle tension, and discomfort due to the lack of overall support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5f9f00b27e39af1e037ea8/1586988139646-GFARZM6VFEM9KVFK14P0/Canva+-+Man+in+Green%2C+Blue%2C+and+Black+Plaid+Sports+Shirt+Sitting+on+Bed+Using+Silver+Macbook.jpg Blog - Do’s and DON’TS When Working from Home (WFH) Working on your bed - That’s right! This is a huge no-no! For all the reasons and more stated above! Your bed is for sleeping. Get out of bed and start your day right! Wow, for a moment, I felt like a mother scolding a stubborn teenage kid! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5f9f00b27e39af1e037ea8/1586987599586-UCI60ECNYIUJFI9A0DMN/Canva+-+Women+Wearing+White+Tops+Sitting+Beside+Table.jpg Blog - Do’s and DON’TS When Working from Home (WFH) Working on the kitchen table with dining room chair vs bar stool at the counter - Making sure you have a chair with straight back support and both feet planted on the ground is the best thing you can do for your posture. Yes, this means not sitting on your leg or crossing your legs. Yes, I see you and I am watching you at all times! You could add books under your feet, so they don’t dangle. You could also raise your laptop on books; that way your laptop is at eye level to minimize neck strain. Laptops are not meant to be used 8 hours a day. These simple modifications can help your body and help you focus better! While one thinks this can help activate the core muscles trying to sit up all day without proper back support, this is not true! As a matter of fact, we cannot sustain this upright posture all day. This can cause a “C” curvature, rather than the correct “S” curvature in the spine, when slouching too long.(see above) Be sure to sit up straight by tightening your core muscles, maintaining proper positioning of your hips, knees and elbows at a 90 degree angle, and your ears over your shoulders when working to avoid any soreness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5f9f00b27e39af1e037ea8/1586988209727-IG78ZTNNMMGKAJ8UX3AU/Patio.png Blog - Do’s and DON’TS When Working from Home (WFH) Working outside on the patio - Fresh air is plus! Enjoying a beautiful day outside is absolutely a great idea! However, it is important to be sure that you have a regular chair with back support and a table combo so you can work comfortably. Above is a perfect example what not to do. Perhaps considering taking a walk or working out during your breaks. Did I sound motherly again? My intentions, like theirs, are good! After all, my mom always told me not to slouch; I know now she meant well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5f9f00b27e39af1e037ea8/1586988277353-J91ID7S9C4LMATY6H9FJ/Canva+-+Person+in+Black+Sweater+and+Blue+Denim+Jeans+Sitting+on+Brown+Wooden+Floor+While+Using+a+Laptop.jpg Blog - Do’s and DON’TS When Working from Home (WFH) Working on the floor - The person above might as well place the coffee cup on her head and try to perform a balancing act for her audience. You got it right, this is wrong for all the obvious reasons. It is impossible to maintain proper posture when working on the floor, so why go there? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5f9f00b27e39af1e037ea8/1586988308002-4YC8ARCGOI23I3MTIJVM/Canva+-+People+Sitting+on+Floor+While+Using+Laptop.jpg Blog - Do’s and DON’TS When Working from Home (WFH) Imagine returning back to work after our “stay at home” and your boss says, “Hey, we’re not going to use chairs or desks anymore; let’s just work on the floor!” This would be the death of an ergonomic specialist!
