Templates for ergonomic workspace

Useful, editable starting points with instructions, limitations, and page-specific answers.

Desk setupCSV

Workstation measurement sheet

Capture body, chair, desk, monitor, and input-device measurements in one place.

Measure before buying accessories or changing several things at once.
Buying decisionsCSV

Home-office upgrade priority checklist

Prioritize changes by discomfort, frequency, cost, and whether a no-cost adjustment has been tested.

Avoid buying accessories before fixing the basic setup order.
Self-assessmentMarkdown

Desk setup photo-audit worksheet

Use consented front and side workstation photos with measurements, task context, privacy controls, and one adjustment experiment.

Complete during normal work when a static setup relationship is difficult to see directly.
MonitorsMarkdown

Monitor positioning record

Record primary-screen use, viewing distance, useful screen height, text size, glare, multiple-monitor layout, and symptom response.

Use after adding, replacing, or moving a monitor or changing the primary task.
Chair setupMarkdown

Office chair fit worksheet

Compare body and desk measurements with usable chair ranges for seat height, depth, width, lumbar support, armrests, and clearance.

Use before buying a chair or when an existing chair cannot be adjusted comfortably.
Symptoms and setupMarkdown

Desk symptom and task diary

Link symptoms with task, duration, side, position, equipment, breaks, stress, and changes without attempting self-diagnosis.

Use for a short representative period before an ergonomic or clinical conversation.
Sit-stand workMarkdown

Sit-stand schedule experiment

Test short sitting, standing, walking, and posture-change intervals by task while recording comfort, fatigue, and concentration.

Use for one week before increasing standing duration or buying accessories.
MovementMarkdown

Desk microbreak and movement planner

Attach brief visual, posture, and movement resets to existing work transitions instead of relying only on alarms.

Use when long focus blocks or back-to-back calls remove natural movement.
Laptop workMarkdown

Portable laptop workstation checklist

Pack and set up a stable screen stand, input devices, power, lighting, seating support, privacy, and task limits for temporary work.

Use for travel, coworking, hot-desking, or any location without a permanent desk.
Chair fitCSV

Office chair dimensions comparison sheet

Compare usable chair adjustment ranges with lower-leg height, supported seat depth, hip width, elbow height, desk clearance, tasks, and return terms.

Measure the actual user and desk, then reject a chair when a critical usable range does not fit—even if its overall score is high.
Sit-stand setupCSV

Standing desk preset card

Record tested seated and standing input heights, monitor settings, foot support, tasks, comfort response, and the next adjustment.

Use separate rows for each user and task; presets are recall points, not universal ergonomic targets.

An optional next step

When reminders would help the habit stick
