• First, he docked and elevated his laptop.  Since this guy does so much reading, writing, and typing, he needed the better reading level of an elevated screen.
• Second, he plugged in an extra monitor and an ergonomic keyboard for even more reading and typing comfort.  He chose a Microsoft keyboard with slight curvature.
• Next, our reader added a wrist rest for breaks between typing periods and upgraded to an ergonomic mouse complete with a mouse pad with a built-in wrist rest.
• You’ll also notice that our avid reader has not one, but two document holders for all the texts and notes he has to reference throughout the day.
• Since this cubby hole of an office is not very bright, he added two small lights, but not right on the monitors- no reason to create glare where it doesn’t need to be!
• Not pictured, our reader also uses a foot rest for comfort so he can rest his feet comfortably.
• One last thing to note- we mentioned that our guy did not have tons of extra cash- so he picked and chose what changes would really make a difference in his office.  Those items tended to be desk top and efficiency-driven, but are actually a variety of brands.

When upgrading your work station, note that brands are not nearly as important ergonomic quality.  The most important and efficiency-boosting ergonomic upgrades you can make are an ergonomic keyboard and ergonomic mouse.
