Thanksgiving the Ergonomic Way
A Time for Thanks
This is the week to review and reflect upon what we’re thankful for, both big and small. Today, I’m going to share some simple things that just make life easier. Next time, I’ll go a little deeper and show thanks for something much larger.
Before I get into some of my favorite and most beloved ergonomic products, let’s start with ergonomics in general. Maybe it’s that I’m getting older or that I just had my third child….or that I’m just way smarter than I used to be. Either way, I have come to respect ergonomics and in a way I never used to. There’s something about being young and feeling invincible that makes you think you can do whatever you want whenever you want and not suffer consequences. You would scoff at people struggling to get off the floor and their aching knees…and then all of a sudden, you find yourself in the same position with your own bewildered children staring on. You find yourself, or at least I did, starting to realize that there are limits for the human body and taking care of it is a matter of importance. So, that;s why I’m thankful for these products- they have made life easier and more comfortable for millions of Americans, myself included.
Top Ergo Products to Be Thankful For
Left-handed keyboards. Finally, a keyboard made for lefties…and as a bonus, even righties can enjoy the design of the re-located number pad on the left and out of the way.- Ergonomic mice and ergonomic keyboards- a better fit means more effective typing and fewer work-related injuries. No more cramping, achey hands and wrists from standard-issued but ill-fitting mice and keyboards.
- Mobile stands- Every teacher or presenter needs one of these! Anyone who has one is thankful for their new-found mobility and ability to stay connected from anywhere in the room.
- Presentation keyboards- For the same reasons as mobile stands, presentation keyboards are fantastic for dynamic lectures and dialog. They allow you to roam the room and stay connected even away from your desk.
- Sound machines- For better sleep, more peaceful relaxation, and less distracted work.
Happy Thanksgiving Week! What are you thankful for?
