Developing Good Work Habits
Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer for long periods
of time. Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your
hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some tips to reduce the strain:
• Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time.

•Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below
the level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.
•Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor or
on a footrest if necessary.
•Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably.
•Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90-degree angles
when you are working.
