Self-Evaluation
Do your tasks vary so you can move around and change positions and postures?
Recommended Solutions
Break up large tasks with smaller tasks. Get up routinely to file, copy, fax or make a few phone calls.
Use a 3 or 4 tiered vertical file or high table to stand up for reading/writing tasks.
Try standing up when on the phone or talking with others in your office.
Do you take brief rest breaks and move around throughout the day?
Recommended Solutions
Take short 20-30 second breaks every 20-30 minutes to stretch and move.
Use reminders (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Calendar, break programs) to prompt stretch breaks.
Reorganize your office to promote movement. Move the printer away from the computer and relocate frequently used files or books.
Do you take short vision breaks at least every 20-30 minutes of computer use?
Recommended Solutions
Rest your eyes, look at something in the distance, blink, or cup your palms over your eyes during breaks.
