If possible, position your desk near a source of natural light. According to research, this can improve your mood, and help you stay focused throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether you have natural light in your room, you\u2019ll want to make sure there are enough additional sources of lighting as well. Insufficient lighting can cause a slew of problems, including eyestrain, headaches, and overall fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, also think about whether you want to utilise warm (yellow) or cold (white) light in your study. We\u2019d recommend colder lighting, because while warm lighting helps you relax, cold lighting is great for staying alert and productive. If you have the habit of working late into the night, though, switch to yellow lights once the sun sets. This helps your body wind down, and reduces the likelihood of insomnia at night.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; simplified_controls=&#8221;yes&#8221; custom_css_percentage=&#8221;no&#8221; padding_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_horizontal=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_css=&#8221;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_styling_global=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<h2>3.

The general guideline is that your elbow should connect to your arm at a 90 degree angle when you\u2019re working, and your keyboard should be positioned around 8cm away from your body. Your wrists should remain flat at the keyboard instead of being angled up, and your knees should be roughly level with your hips.<\/p>\n<p>For desks, you can also consider using a standing desk, which allows you to switch between standing\/sitting throughout the day.

It\u2019s not a perfect fix, but it mimics a standing desk and lets you try it out before committing to a purchase. Just remember to choose a shelf that\u2019s at eye level, so you don\u2019t end up slouching while standing, or straining your neck.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; simplified_controls=&#8221;yes&#8221; custom_css_percentage=&#8221;no&#8221; padding_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_horizontal=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_css=&#8221;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_styling_global=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<h2>4.
