If you spend many hours at your desk, proper posture is especially important. There are many ergonomic desks and chairs that have extra adjustments and padding to promote healthy posture. The height of your desk and chair is also crucial.
Other than that, you should try to sit as straight as possible and keep your feet firmly planted on the floor. Both your knees and elbows should be at a right angle so that you prevent joint and back problems. The distance to your computer or laptop is also crucial.

Depending on your space, you should place your desk in such a way that you create optimal lighting conditions. For this, the desk should be near a window, but not with its back to the window. It's also recommended that you position your desk so that you have a good view of the entire room and don't sit with your back to the door.

Additionally, you can use a desk lamp to enjoy enough light also during cloudy or dark winter days.

Sufficient light is particularly crucial for a good working atmosphere. Natural daylight through large windows creates nicer lighting conditions than artificial light. Nevertheless, you also need sufficient lighting in the evening or on dark winter days.
Ceiling lamps for direct light, classic floor lamps for indirect light or desk lamps for targeted lighting of the workplace are all suitable here. It is always important that the lighting works evenly and without strong reflections.

Also think of the type of light bulbs you use in your lamps. LED daylight bulbs are a good alternative to classic light bulbs as they consume less energy and imitate the sun's natural light.
