DESK DAY TOOLKIT

Unfold
yourself.

Three fixes for a long day at a desk, none longer than two minutes. Start before lunch.

EVERY 50 MINUTES

Set a timer, then stand up

At minute fifty, stand, roll your shoulders back and take ten steps somewhere. That's the whole rule, and it's easier to keep than a longer one.

SCREEN HEIGHT

Raise the screen

Put the top of the screen at eye level and an arm's length away. If you lean in to read, it's too far or too low.

CHAIR HEIGHT

Hips above knees

Keep your feet flat on the floor. If they dangle, lower the chair or add a footrest. A stack of books counts.

“Raising my screen four inches ended the headaches.”
