Lift the screen
Set the top of your monitor near eye level and an arm's length away. Your neck will quietly thank you.
Choose ergonomic habits that fit your day
A short, honest guide for picking habits worth keeping — written for the way Finnish desk workers actually spend their hours.
Core habits
Eight quiet adjustments worth trying
Read them once, then pick the one habit you would most like to live with this week.
Anchor your feet
Adjust seat height so your feet rest flat on the floor or a small support. Hips slightly higher than knees.
Keep wrists neutral
Keyboard and mouse close to the body, elbows near 90°. Wrists straight, not bent up or down.
Reset your eyes
Every twenty minutes, glance at something twenty steps away for twenty seconds. A small habit with a big calming effect.
Walk between tasks
Short walks between calls or focus blocks. Even a one-minute lap around the desk counts.
Pair habits with rituals
Link an ergonomic habit to your tea break or the start of a meeting — it makes it stick.
Breathe at the keyboard
Notice held breath while concentrating. A slow inhale every so often resets shoulder tension.
Close the day clearly
End your session by tidying the desk and dimming the screen. A small ritual signals: workday done.
Build a routine
A gentle four-week framing
Pick one habit per week. By the end of the month, four small things will be running quietly in the background of your day.
Week 1 · Set screen height and seat depth. Notice your shoulders at the end of each day.
Week 2 · Add the eye-rest pattern. Pair it with the corner of the hour.
Week 3 · Introduce one short walking break before lunch and one in the afternoon.
Week 4 · Close each day with a one-minute desk reset and a slow exhale.
