We live in a world where people are stuck to their screens. From sunrise emails to late-night Netflix binges, digital devices have become our favourite companions. But this constant online connectivity comes at a cost: digital fatigue. Eyes grow weary, necks ache, and minds wander, leaving us feeling zapped and unproductive.
At Auraa, we believe your workplace shouldn’t be a constant battle against digital fatigue. With a few smart adjustments and the right furniture, you can reclaim your digital well-being and work productively.
Tip 1: Give your Eyes a Break
Staring at pixels for hours is a marathon, not a sprint. Relieve your overworked eyes with frequent breaks. According to the London Optometric Association, the 20-20-20 rule, where you take a 20-second break to view something 20 feet away every 20 minutes, can significantly reduce eye strain and discomfort caused by prolonged screen time. Set a timer every 20-30 minutes and step away from the screen. Walk around, stretch, close your eyes, or gaze out the window – anything to give your peepers a much-needed breather.
Tip 2: Posture Perfect
Hunching over your keyboard might feel familiar, but it’s a recipe for neck and back pain. Invest in an ergonomic chair that supports your natural posture. Look for adjustable features like backrest angles, lumbar support, and armrests that keep your arms at a comfortable angle. Remember, good posture isn’t just good for your body; it also increases alertness and boosts concentration.
Tip 3: Desk Dynamism
According to NCBI, statistical analysis results indicated that prolonged sitting times among office workers could have an effect on exhaustion during the working day, job satisfaction, hypertension (blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg), and MSD symptoms in the shoulders, lower back, thighs, and knees of office workers. Get an adjustable executive office desk that gives you the power to move. Transition seamlessly between sitting and standing throughout the day to keep your blood flowing and your mind sharp. At Auraa, we offer a range of adjustable desks that fit every budget and style, allowing you to conquer digital fatigue in style.
Tip 4: Light your Offices
Dim, flickering screens are a major contributor to eye strain. Ensure your workspace has ample natural light, and invest in adjustable desk lamps that provide glare-free illumination. A warm white light is your friend, while harsh blue light is the enemy.
Tip 5: Nature’s Therapy
A touch of greenery can work wonders for both your eyes and your mood. Plants act as natural air purifiers, filtering out toxins and boosting oxygen levels. Surround yourself with low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants, and watch your digital fatigue melt away.
