5 Ergonomic Computer Workspace Tips for Working At Home

If you spend most of your working day in front of a computer, just like I do, then creating an ergonomic workspace is essential if you want to ensure that you complete your tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Also, with an ergonomic, friendly computer workspace area, you are far less likely to suffer from RSI /repetitive strain injury/.  So, the following are 5 ergonomic tips for your computer workspace area:

Monitor

Try to always make sure that you line of sight to the computer monitor is at 45 degrees.  Do not station your computer monitor so that you are always looking up as if you were in the first row of a cinema!

Hard drive

Place your hard drive either under your desk or under your computer monitor.  Where possible, try not to place your hard drive on your table separate from your monitor as this will likely result in you having a cluttered desk-top.

Paper

If you need to make reference to paper or need paper to write comments on, then make sure you have a ready source of paper close to your computer keyboard.  Also, if you are touch-typing your bosses handwritten notes, for example, or any other notes you have taken, make sure that you have a document reviewer that you can put next to you monitor so that it makes it easier to read than if you put the notes flat on the desk-top and try to read them from there.

Chair

Keep in mind that if you sit in a chair for hours on end then this could very well have a large impact on any back problems that you may have.  Make sure you position the chair correctly to your height so that you can work at your work station safe in the knowledge that your chair’s positioning is not going to harm your health. Choosing the right chair that is made for office work is also important.

Plants

It is always nice to see plants at a person's workspace at it shows they have an interest beyond working all day!  Although you may not automatically associate having plants near your workspace equates to an ergonomic working environment, in fact the peace they provide you with usually work wonders!

To your success at working from home,

Defining Residual Income From Home

Residual income can be hard to understand at first.  Most people are used to earning an hourly wage based upon the idea that they earn money for the hours they work.  Residual income is a very different concept. Residual income is where a person earns money over and over again for something they do one time.  So, instead of having to put in hours to earn money, residual income is based on the idea of doing something once and earning an income off that work for long after it is completed. Generally, residual income opportunities are based upon an automated or semi-automated system.  There has to be some system in place that allows the income to be earned without the person having to anything. The internet is the perfect atmosphere for residual income.  This is because an income from the internet can be highly automated.  There are many different ways to earn a residual income through the internet.
