HAVE A HEALTHY WORK DAY
Considering a large number of people
spend a lot of time at their workplace, it makes sense to pay a little extra
attention to your immediate surroundings there. Believe it or not, your work
environment can actually have an impact not only on your productivity but also
your mood. Here are some tips that will help... Take a look at your desk. While
it isn't always possible to keep it thoroughly organised all the time, make an
effort to maintain some sort of orderliness. Being disorganised might only
increase your workload, cause stress and lower your efficiency .Take out 10
minutes at the end of the day to sort out your papers, files and stationary.
Once
or twice a week, go through your drawers to discard papers or files you do not
require. If you store snacks in your cubicle, it is important to sift through
them to check in case they are past their expiry date.
A
small indoor plant will not only brighten up your desk but also soak up the
toxins emanating from the floor cleaners, carpets, printers, etc.
Sitting
for hours hunched in front of the computer can take a toll on your shoulder
muscles and back, as well as your eyes. Get up every 20-30 minutes to stretch
your legs. You could also perform some stretching exercises while sitting or
standing near your chair. Rest your eyes every hour by doing some eye exercises
and use drops to ease dry eyes.
Take
the staircase every alternate day and go for a walk around the office block to
stretch your legs in your break. This will relieve the stress in your back.
While
the vending machine or the cafeteria might offer tasty treats to snack on
during a long day , it is not doing your health any good. Try to carry lunch
from home as often as possible and stock your drawer with healthy snacks that
you can munch on.
While
it is not advisable to put up personal photographs all over your desk, there is
no harm in personalising it a bit. A small souvenir from your travel or a
favourite mug can brighten up a dull desk.
Sitting
in an air-conditioned office all day can damage your skin in the long run. Keep
a small bottle of moisturiser and a lip balm in your drawer and use them during
the day .
Keep
yourself hydrated with green tea or fresh fruit juices instead of endless cups
of caffeine.
Check
if your workstation is at the right angle or you might end up straining your
neck. Adjust your chair properly so that it supports your back, forearms and
feet well. Ensure that your computer screen isn't too bright or dull and that
it is in line with your vision.
