Sitting on the Floor - Is It Ok for Your Posture?
/People often worry that if their set-up doesn't look like an ergonomics diagram, that they are messing up their posture.
Not necessarily!
First of all, when considering the best position at the computer I think it’s important to consider your work style more than trying to fit everyone into a cookie cutter set-up.
I’ve talked about how to optimize chairs, but nonetheless I think that having more than one workspace set-up is actually ideal. Spend some time out of the chair either standing or siting on the floor. This may be more of an option these days for many people if they are spending time working from home...but you want to make sure that you have a healthy set-up in any workspace (ie. Don’t just plop down on the floor with your computer and call it a day.)
