Time to add an extra screen?
You might think that only the only people who need two computer screens are animators at Disney or scientists at NASA - but using a second screen can make a huge difference to pretty much every PC user - here's why:
1. Increased Productivity
• Multitasking: You can have multiple applications open side by side, making it easier to switch between tasks.
• Reference Material: Keep reference documents, emails, or web pages open on one screen while you work on another.
2. Improved Organization
• Better Workflow: Arrange your workspace to suit your needs, such as having a dedicated screen for communication tools (like Slack or Teams) while working on the main screen.
• Task Management: Use one screen for project management tools and the other for actual work.
3. Enhanced Focus
• Reduced Tab Clutter: With more screen real estate, you can avoid constantly switching between tabs or windows.
• Dedicated Spaces: Create specific areas for different tasks, reducing distractions.

Best of all is that you don't need to break the bank to add a second screen - even a sub £100 model these days will be a worthwhile addition to your work.

Get the light right!
Whether you wear glasses or not, it's a fact that the light balance in your workplace plays a key role in avoiding or getting eyestrain, regardless of your age. You can avoid short and long term strain by making sure you get your light just right!
Uplighters and floor standing lamps create an excellent general ambience, and a small desklamp positioned to illuminate documents on your work top will do the job.
Don't let any light source reflect off your screen, as that is a guaranteed recipe for headaches!

A green and economical approach for your workplace:
We're all familiar with the idea that making tiny adjustments and improvements to how you live and work can impact in a huge way on the environment, but there is a perception that buying 'green' can mean paying more! There is some truth in that, but taking advantage of value packs, and bigger pack sizes means that you will be getting a better deal, and most importantly cutting down on deliveries and waste packaging - and that is a very green way of doing things..

Next time you are doing an order for your workplace, take the time to see if there are bulk packs available, or better still, items that might be refillable or reuseable. Many workers immediately bin a pen or highlighter that has run out, without realising that refillable options are available.

If browsing a webstore, make sure you look all the way down the list - products are often shown in low to high price order - you might find that a more expensive bulk pack actually works out far cheaper than buying single or small pack sizes.

Workplace activity - don't just sit there!��Long sunny days can spur even the laziest person into doing some form of outdoor activity - and possibly the Olympics might have encouraged some to try and see what they're really made of - from triathlon to trampolining! Which is all great, but what about when you are back in the workplace, and often sat down for long periods? How can you maintain a healthy approach?

Who says you have to sit down when making phone calls? Using a headset instead of a hand set gives you the freedom to stroll about, giving your back a rest, while you continue with the conversation!

Our selection of alternative 'office chairs' are proving to be game changers for many people. It's true they take a bit of getting used to, both in use and in looks, but once you've tried an ergonomic stool or the wonderful Sitting Ball from Leitz, you'll never look back.

Your mental well being is of course equally as important as your physical condition - trying to have a conversation, make a call, or simply have some quiet time for brain storming is mental torture if your workplace is noisy. A simple solution is to use a portable floor standing screen - it's amazing how much impact these can have on reducing the overall noise levels in any office.

One recent innovation actually comes directly from kindergarten! Who says meetings have to take place in the meeting room? If the weather is fine have your meeting outside and see just how productive the al fresco approach can be!

Make the most of your holidays!
Living in the moment is something that can be so rewarding, but you can only achieve it if you allow yourself to be fully disconnected from the everyday noise and interference of the workplace - and this is especially true when it comes to being on holiday. There's a few top tips that can really help you.

Don’t feel guilty – rested employees are healthier, more creative and more productive than their stressed colleagues.

Set the boundaries – tell colleagues, customers, suppliers and your boss that you won’t be checking emails while you are away and that you will deal with them when you get back. Be sure to stick to it, otherwise no one will believe you next time.

Set an out of office message – so that anyone emailing you knows when they can expect a response from you.

Add a buffer day – to your out of office to give you a day to catch up before people start pestering you.

Delete the app – if you can’t trust yourself, delete the email app from your phone or tablet so you don’t get inbox anxiety as you see the number of emails increase daily.

Plan ahead – dedicate the morning of your first day back to emails to give you time to catch up. Having time to deal with emails on your return will reduce your anxiety about them building up.

Be kind to yourself – you are allowed to take a holiday, so leave the email alone!
