Good posture has a direct effect on the quality of your work. A few simple rules help you avoid the unwanted effects of long hours at the computer, such as back problems, fatigue and tense, overworked muscles. When you sit at the computer, check:

  • Are you sitting up straight and relaxed, with your feet flat on the floor?
  • Are you sitting well back in the chair, with your back against the backrest?
  • Is the chair at the right distance from the desk, so that your forearms are level, your wrists and forearms form a straight line, and your upper arms and forearms make a 90-degree angle?
  • Do your elbows rest loosely at your sides, with your wrists slightly raised?
  • When you bend your fingers, do your fingertips touch the keys?

If you can answer yes to all of these questions, you're sitting CORRECTLY. That will help you become a keyboard master and learn to type fast.
