Tip # 6
Use a headset or speakerphone for phone time.
If you are going to use the phone while keying and don’t use a headset or speakerphone you’ll end up raising a shoulder too high resulting in poor posture and strain. Get a good headset or speaking; keying and talking at the same time will be much easier and healthier too! Minimize time on laptops. You can’t beat laptops for portability but they cause a lot of ergonomic challenges. Laptops usually have a keyboard that is too small, a screen that is not a the right height and people tend to rest their wrists on the keyboard which leads to wrist problems. Additionally, people tend to have their elbows way out at the sides and move their neck forward to see the screen – a posture that leads to all kinds of repetitive motion injuries.
