How to Arrange a Monitor & Keyboard for Desk Ergonomics

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Pete D'Alessandro with Expert Village. We're in the middle of our reorganization for our office and what we're going to do now is before we get into the main bulk of setting up the space or setting up the room, we're going to look at this ergonomically. If you remember before, the computer was a little off centered like this at an angle and we have to type like this. We have to turn our head, everything is just a little off centered. But the computer is where most of us do our work at our desk in this day of age. So, I know it's a really simple step but guess what? You have to do that. Now your chiropractor is probably really mad at me because I've just caused him hundreds of dollars but guess what? This is so much better for us just centering it a few inches, not turning our neck, not turning our spine. Having this keep board somewhere where you can reach it. Somewhere where it's close convenient. Here if you want to rest your wrist. You want to move it. A wireless keyboard is great, it's just a few extra bucks if you could afford it. I recommend going for it because you have the freedom to put it anywhere you want. You start to get crampy, you can start to feel your back sort of tense up, you can still move and you're not locked into one position."
