Have a healthy work space

If you’re among those who spend more time at their workplace than at home, this should interest you. Experts say if you constantly feel anxious, disorganized and lethargic in the office, it could adversely affect your performance. Here are a few effective ways to ensure that you have a healthier work day.
 

TIDY UP YOUR DESK Whether you realize it or not, if you surround yourself with clutter, chances are that you will be far more unproductive. Put aside 20 minutes every week and make sure that you clear your desk regularly. This way, you won’t be stressed that you can’t find an important document in the mess and can work in a clutter-free zone. 

 
ADOPT A PLANT Did you know that some plants have the ability to absorb pollutants that are emitted from carpets and paint? Check with your florist for these. Alternatively, you could also keep a small indoor plant to brighten your work space. 

TAKE A BREATHER You may think that working non-stop may help you accomplish a lot, but remember, your brain needs a break from time to time. If you constantly sit in front of the computer, make it a habit to get up at least once every hour to stretch. This will prevent joint pain, muscular tension and eye strain. A break will also boost your productivity and you’ll be able to concentrate better. 

 
SIT CORRECTLY Make sure your computer is placed at a proper angle and that your posture is correct. Your chair should neither be too high nor too low and both your feet should be flat on the floor. Also sit with your shoulders relaxed.

It is important to maintain a correct posture while working
