  • Lighting: standard EN 12464-1 suggests about 500 lux for office work; prefer indirect light with no glare on the screen.
  • Posture: top of the screen at eye level, forearms horizontal, feet flat. Alternate sitting and standing, and take regular breaks.
  • Remote work: a dedicated desk, separate from rest areas, protects sleep and focus.
  • Eco-responsibility: repair or refurbish before buying; battery-powered wireless accessories are not always greener than wired ones.
