The Tax Pain

OMG- I just completed my taxes, and it’s always such a painful time each year!

I get stressed out beyond belief, it takes hours and hours, and this year to add to the mess- my Quicken program glitched on me and I wasn’t able to use it properly so I had to do a lot more things manually.

Bleh…

And as much as I always try to preach about sitting at a desk properly and doing things right, I oftentimes found myself over the course of this past week really sitting in awkward positions at my desk. Mostly from looking straight down at forms on the desk right in front of me.

Have you ever seen this?

Picture something like the piano player kid from the Charley Brown cartoon…

So here are a couple quick tips to avoid these very bad positions:

  1. Whatever you’re reading- whether it’s a book or some paperwork or your phone- have it straight up in front of you and not at a spot where you have to look straight down at it
  2. Always keep everything at your work station at a 90 degree angle- elbows, shoulders, knees, hips. They should all be at 90 degrees. And your mouse should be at a spot where your wrist is straight and not angled. And your computer monitor should be in front of you, not off to the side or up or down.
  3. Don’t lie awake at night with your laptop computer or watching TV. If you read a book, that’s great, but again- keep it propped up in front of your face and don’t sit in bed hunkered over with your head looking down at your book on your lap.

We all find ourselves victim to these awful positions sometimes, but trust me- you’re going to be so much better off if you really do your best to avoid them. I know, I know- I’m sure your friend Sally has something really important to say when she texts you- but just keep your phone up so you don’t put all that strain on your neck when you’re reading her message!

I hope your tax season was better than mine… Stay healthy!
