    Ergonomics at Work main episode for 2026-07-16
    2026/08/20
    In this episode, we tackle the common struggles of hybrid workers setting up ergonomic home offices on a budget. From neck strain caused by low monitors on dining tables to pressure points from makeshift chairs, Blake shares practical fixes that reduce daily discomfort without major purchases. Learn how to measure and adjust your setup for better posture, including raising screens to eye level, optimizing chair height for lumbar support, and positioning keyboards and mice to protect wrists and shoulders.

    Key takeaways:
    - Raise your monitor so the top aligns with your eye line using books or a stand
    - Adjust chair height for flat feet and slight thigh slope, adding a towel for lumbar support if needed
    - Use a separate keyboard with negative tilt and a properly sized mouse to keep wrists straight
    - Position devices at arm's length and clear desk space to minimize reaching and strain

    These small changes build sustainable comfort for long workdays.

    Navigate Hybrid Workers Home-Office Builds Under $200: Chair Monitor Keyboard
    2026/07/11
    In this episode of Ergonomics at Work, Blake breaks down realistic home-office kit builds that stay under $200 for hybrid workers juggling office and remote days. Skip the pricey consultant packages and focus on a supportive chair, properly positioned monitor, and wrist-friendly keyboard that reduce back and neck strain without trial-and-error spending.

    Many already own one usable piece, so the episode shows how to mix secondhand finds, simple risers, and budget accessories into a functional setup that fits limited space and moves easily between locations.

    Key takeaways:
    - Prioritize a used adjustable chair with basic lumbar support for under $100
    - Lift your screen with a stand, books, or affordable monitor arm to keep your neck neutral
    - Add a wired external keyboard for better wrist alignment while staying well below $50
    - Measure your desk first, test items in person when possible, and choose compact or foldable pieces for shared spaces
