Set yourself up for success. Having a good ergonomic set-up isn't just good for your physical healthit can also boost your feelings of productivity. Here are some tips on how you can change your remote working set-up for better health in body and mind:... Your head should be vertical to your neck. Long-term, this means laptop users should consider mounting their device on a laptop riser and using an external keyboard and mouse. Extend your arm and hand forward to lay them flat on the table so they're flush and there's no hinge at the wrist. Find a posture that allows you to see the screen while sitting back in a way that provides lower back support. If you don't have an ergonomic office chair, try putting a cushion, pillow or towel behind your lower back for support. Take a short break every 20 minutes where you stand up, stretch out and move a little. Movement can help improve circulation, comfort and performance.
