Arranging Your Workspace
$UUDQJLQJ\RXUZRUNVSDFHWRLPSURYHFRPIRUWDOVRHQKDQFHVSURGXFWLYLW\DQGHIÀFLHQF\
Give yourself ample room to move while performing your main tasks.
Place the tools that you use most close to hand so that you don’t have to reach for them: - keyboard, mouse, telephone,
pens, note paper, etc.
Place less frequently used item in a area further away but still within arm’s reach.
Place least used items at the periphery of your workspace, outside arm’s reach.
Use a document holder to ensure that the information you are using is readily accessible.

The Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard also helps in this respect. It has a small footprint and an embedded numeric keypad
that means that you don’t need to reach as far to access your mouse (Figure 1.5)
