Screen Habits for a Comfortable Workday

From remote work setups to scrolling through your phone on the commute, our days are inherently digital. Small adjustments to how we interact with our devices can make a long day feel much more balanced.

Daily Comfort Checklist

✦

Adjust Screen Brightness

Match your screen's brightness to the room's lighting. A screen that is much brighter or darker than the surrounding area can make your workday feel exhausting.

✦

Mind the Commute

Reading small text on a moving Metrobús or during heavy urban traffic means your eyes constantly readjust to vibrations. Try listening to a podcast instead to give yourself a break.

✦

Comfortable Distance

Keep your computer monitor roughly an arm's length away. Position the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level to maintain a relaxed posture.

The Importance of Short Pauses

You don't need a long break to feel refreshed. Simply looking away from your monitor to focus on an object in the distance—like a building across the street or a tree outside your window—can introduce a much-needed pause into a busy schedule.
