How many hours you spend in front of your computer everyday? Less than 3 hours? More than 5 hours? I never count how many hours I spend here as my son keep on nagging me all the time, so I usually write for 5-30 minutes then I step off for a while to nurture my children. If I may sum, I think I sit here more than 4 hours a day! If I am not online, I am retouching some pictures or playing games with my sons.

Why do I ask this to you? Well... that question leads to this question... do you feel stiff shoulders especially the right shoulder? I do! :-(( I am sure it is caused by this computer desk and chair that are not ergonomic... I have tried to design this computer desk by myself in fact, I am not a furniture designer *sigh* How does your computer desk look like? I want to know if you think your computer area is nice and shoulder-friendly to you!

Work place is really important to be ergonomic, so we have to be thoughtful when we buy office furniture, computer furniture and also a table for your children to study. May be I should sell this out and find new furniture for me. Wish me luck!
---------------------------------- TAG ONE-----------------------------
I want to get the answer so I have to tag someone! THIS GONNA BE A DOUBLE TAG :-D So please Endoh, Bless, Karen, Eric, LemonJude, Raquel , Maurica, Janice and Jamilla I tag you to show me your computer desk! (If you don't mind of course... ) and to answer my question.

I repeat my question here: What is your suggestion to make the computer desk more comfortable?

Please put the answers on this list:
Trinity said the keyboard and mouse position should be in low level... in our lap may be...
Maurica said : For me, I need a cordless mouse, that's vital to make my work more comfortable, esp since I'm in front of the pc most of the time! :):):)
Janice said...I need a new working desk, the current one is converted from a dressing table, its a bit uncomfy to work on.
Ed said:

1. I have a clear view of everything in the room, including a new TV on the other wall so I can do my work and catch a little TV at the same time.
2. A foot rest where I am seated, just underneath my keyboard.
3. Since I yearn for a U-shaped workstation, I definitely want my things to be easily reached.

Karen said....
A comfortable work desk for me must be neat and tidy. A place for everything and everything at it's place. I would begin my day by sorting the documents that I need to look through in the order that I would attend to throughout the day. A short To-Do List would also be drafted to keep me focused.

Most importantly, I would clear my desk at the end of the day before I leave the office. This is somewhat like a routine to mentally end the work day so that when I am home, I am really mentally and physically home.

Eric said.... cordless is a solution for me!
Bless said : This is in our sunroom. Where I stand to take the pic on the other end is where my DD's playpen, swing and bouncer at, cramped up together. I have to have it within reach while I'm on the internet.
Amel's Realm said since I'm unemployed, for me as long as I have everything I need on my computer desk, then I'm happy. My computer desk's not too tidy but it's comfy enough for me hi hi hi...I have a mug filled with pens and pencils nearby that's quite handy. More importantly, I like to have a big mug of water on my desk 'coz I drink a lot and I don't like going back and forth to get my drink. I rest my feet on top of a small speaker that my hubby puts on the floor below my computer desk (I find it quite handy as my legs are short LOL!!!). Oh, and I have a lamp table next to my monitor so that when it gets dark here, I simply need to turn it on. Voila!!!

Oh, and one thing I love is having a headset and microphone ready, so whenever I need to listen to anything without bothering my hubby, I can just put it on. Plus there's this media hub that my hubby plugs so that if I want to listen to any music from the computer using the speakers, I only need to turn on the button to switch from speaker to headset. I find it very practical!
