Set up your work area

Position your tablet, pen, and keyboard for easy access.

Adjust your monitor so you can view it comfortably without eyestrain, placing it about one arm's length away from you.

Position the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.

If you are using the tablet as a creative tool, consider placing the tablet below the keyboard and centered below your
monitor.
