Hi Daniel
Thanks … I didn’t realize about the importance of natural lighting. I’m no expert but I guess if my aquatic plants and fishes thrive in certain lighting, there should be no difference for human. Fortunately, there is a row of light shops just 5 min away from my office, I’ll go check out.

Thanks for shopping by and leaving me such good tips.

Hi Laura
Until I found my chair, I guess I will have to prop a few cushions for support.

Thanks for stopping by again.

I recently worked with an ergonomics specialist in the plant safety arena Vivienne. One more tip for you that I learned about and often notice as a problem is monitor placement.

So many people tend to place their monitor where it looks nice or it is convenient, but it actually needs to be placed directly in front of you to eliminate the need for any twisting of the neck or back to see it. Your shoulders must be 90° square, parallel to the screen.

He also recommends natural or natural colored lighting. I was amazed at the difference his subtle change made in my office.

As entrepreneurs, if we are going to market and plan to sell our goods and services most effectively, we need to have everything going for us as possible. Paying diligent attention to ergonomics is critical to both long and short term health as well as daily comfort.

Very good article! My husband has back problems and has to have an ergonomic chair. Even though it is more expensive, it makes all the difference in his work environment.
