Desk Configuration

The number one thing you can do to make your desk more ergonomic is to create a space between the keyboard and monitor. This will allow you to move around more easily and get more comfortable when using your computer.

If you have a small desk, make sure that there is enough room for both your arms as well as a small amount of space between them and any hard surface such as another person’s chair or table (this will help with circulation). If on the other hand, there isn’t enough room for both arms at once then try leaning back slightly instead!

Adjustable desk height and arm lengths.

  • Adjustable desk height and arm lengths.

  • Make sure your chair is well-balanced and adjustable to fit you perfectly. You should be able to change the height of your seat in order to prevent strain on your neck (and other areas). If possible, try out several chairs before buying one—you may find that one sits better than another!

  • Take frequent breaks from sitting at a fixed desk position by standing up periodically throughout the day; this will help keep blood flowing throughout any parts of your body that might be feeling tired or sore due to prolonged periods of sitting down too much during class time.

Get a wedge for your chair.

A wedge is a great asset to any desk setup. It helps you keep your spine straight and prevents you from slouching, which can put strain on your lower back. If you’re using an ergonomic office chair, there’s probably a specific type of wedge that comes with it (like this one). Otherwise, visit your local office supply store and ask someone who works in the business space industry for recommendations on what type of chair will help you achieve the best posture possible.

Use adjustable keyboard height.

  • Use adjustable keyboard height.

The most important thing about a desk setup is that the chair, keyboard and monitor are all at the same level. This will ensure that your arms don’t become tired and strained as they attempt to reach across the table or floor in front of you. To achieve this, make sure your desk has an adjustable keyboard arm so that you can raise or lower it as needed without having to move anything else around on your desk (such as bookshelves). The ideal height for this would be somewhere between 31 inches (80cm) and 36 inches (92cm) above the ground while sitting comfortably upright without slouching forward too much either way; but if this isn’t possible then go ahead with whatever works best for you!

Adjustable monitor arms.

  • Adjustable monitor arms

The adjustable monitor arm is a great ergonomic tool for students. It allows you to adjust your desk height so that you can maximize the amount of time spent working at your computer without straining your neck or back. A good option would be an adjustable desk or countertop, as they can help minimize any unnecessary movement while sitting down during long stretches of time spent typing out papers or studying for exams.

Ergonomic keyboard tray.

If you’re new to ergonomics and would like to improve your posture, the best thing you can do is get a keyboard tray. This will allow you to sit at your computer without having to strain your back or neck. A good ergonomic desk setup requires that the user have access to their keyboard so that they are able to type comfortably in an upright position.

The most popular models of “ergonomic” keyboards include those made by Microsoft and Logitech, but there are also many other options available on Amazon such as this one from Corsair or this one from Logitech (which also has additional features like USB ports).

Multi-use desk space.

Properly arranging your desk is one of the most important things you can do to improve your ergonomics and prevent back pain. The first step in this process is having enough space for everything you need to have at hand. This can include a computer, laptop, books and other reading materials, writing utensils (pencils or pens), a calendar/schedule sheet with assignments due dates on it etc.. If there’s not enough room on your desk then try using additional items like an organizer tray where you can place smaller items such as paperclips or binder clips when they’re needed instead of having them sitting on top of one another causing friction-burning back pain while typing away at your computer screen trying to get work done!

Improve your working conditions to be more comfortable and productive, and have less back pain

  • Get a standing desk.

If you’re looking for ways to improve your working conditions, getting a standing desk is the best place to start. It’s an excellent way of improving posture and reducing back pain while also giving yourself more time in between breaks. Standing desks are easy to set up, but there are some things that you’ll want to keep an eye on: make sure that the monitor height is at least two inches above eye level (this will help prevent neck strain), keep flat-screen monitors away from walls because they can glare onto nearby people; if possible try not too put heavy objects near any part of your body when sitting down (like bookshelves or filing cabinets).
