How Far Should Your Monitor Be?

Use the arm's-length rule: sit back, extend your arm — your fingertips should nearly touch the screen.

Ergonomics

Cut Screen Glare Without Buying Gear

Reposition your desk, adjust blinds, and move desk lamps so light hits the wall — not your monitor.

Lighting

Under-Desk Cable Cleanup

Mount a cable tray, bundle cords with velcro ties, and label each plug so you know what goes where.

Organization

10-Minute Chair Tune-Up

Adjust seat height, armrests, and lumbar support. Stand up and sit back down to check the fit.

Ergonomics

Better Audio on Zoom Calls

Add a rug, hang a curtain, or place a bookshelf behind you to cut echo in small rooms.

Environment

Stay Comfortable at Your Desk

Note where vents blow and keep heat sources away from your legs and monitor.

Environment

Three Zones on Your Desk

Keep daily tools within reach, reference items to the side, and clear space for writing or notes.

Organization

Photos for a Remote Audit

Shoot five angles: front, side, above, behind the monitor, and under the desk.
