Quick question I like to ask to remote workers who have worked in office environments before:
Do you find your ergonomics are better or worse since switching to working at home? Or the same?
I've heard it both ways, but for me it's been harder to keep up healthy ergo habits at home. Not sure if it was peer pressure in the office that kept me using my standing desk better or what, but I definitely have slipped and my posture is noticeably worse lately.
- isoprophlex 3y agoAt home I can fuck off on a walk whenever I want, or do calls walking, I have a nice standing desk, the food is always healthy, I can take a hot shower when my neck hurts or go on a run when fidgety, the chair is always set up correctly if I want to sit, there's nice window blinds against glare, there's a balcony to inhale fresh air and look in the distance... Whereas office means trains, so cramped seating and touching a laptop, or driving a car thru obnoxious traffic jams. I think WFH is much healthier for me.
- sudosteph 3y agoAh, the commute may be the thing I'm not accounting for. My last office jobs were about a mile walk from my apartment, so I actually got more movement and fresh air as part of my daily routine. Agreed that car and train time seem less than ideal.
