setup work space at home

since the end of february i have been working from home, because the covid-19 plague hit the world including in Jakarta.

Initially, the laptop is placed on the table as usual.

but because i must always stand-by because it must be responsive every time i got contacted from colleague, therefore it is more sitting in front of the computer than the as usually i do in the office or at the client's office.

in the end it causing sore. unfortunately, I have  visual impairment so it is rather difficult to sit normally, because the screen is less readable.

later i add a monitor which it's resolution is rather low, so the fonts aren't too small.

but sore still happened.

and then the trend of laptop's holder hit internet.

well, in thi economy, i don't think i will follow the trend.

finally a bright idea come across my mind, I use a binder. to hold the laptop. more or less it has the same functionality, isnt' it?

add binder

Well, at least it is somehow gives a bit ergonomic 😀

but due to my eyes problems, i still can't sit correctly, due to my body will still push forward to read the screen.

so i stumble upon this video regarding ergonomic,

which the most basic is: the hand should be parallel with the table. 
so it is the chair that should be adjust to achieve that condition (unless your desk are able to be adjusted)

there fore i add a kids play mattress on the chair so it gives the desire heights. and add a pillow to gives soft sensation.

in other video, it is mentioning about eye level, which should be the same height with the top of the screen.

so to achieve that, i add the kid play mattress under the binder.

and sometimes it is just not high enough, so i add some more mattress.

and the problem is, when the kid want to play with the mattress, i have to pull it off from under the laptop.
