20 Best Ergonomic Office Chairs Under $500 for Your Office

<p dir="ltr">We all have days where we do not get anything done. You feel bored, lazy, and unmotivated, and just can&#39;t get yourself motivated to do anything. You decide to watch some cat videos for some inspiration. Before you know it, you find yourself having spent the whole morning binge-watching Youtube videos.</p>

<p dir="ltr">At lunchtime, you decide to get something to eat, and then you tell yourself you will get back to your task, and do the work this time around.</p>

<p dir="ltr">After lunch, you swing by your desk; you feel lethargic and decide to place your head on your desk for a few minutes. A few minutes turn into a siesta. All of a sudden, it&#39;s 5 pm, you look at what you have done, well you have done nothing!</p>

<p dir="ltr">Fear not: there is nothing wrong with you, but there are things that are making you unmotivated. Here are 7 reasons why you are not motivated, and how to overcome each one of them.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">1.&nbsp;You have zero connection to your why&nbsp;</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to zero connection" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-have-zero-connection-to-your-why--99ac649d94.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Can you answer the question, &quot;Why do you do what you do?&quot; Unfortunately, most people cannot answer this question conclusively. They do not know why they do what they do. However, they just find themselves doing things.</p>

<p dir="ltr">For example, if you are asked why your work, what would your answer be?&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">If you do not have a <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/acquired-spontaneity/201312/why-do-we-do-what-we-do" >&quot;why&quot;</a>, chances of being motivated are minimal. However, if you do know why you work, you will be looking forward to doing your work.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">2.&nbsp;You reward yourself for everything</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to reward yourself" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-reward-yourself-for-everythingdeb9d1fd39.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Imagine you have finally gotten the motivation to do what you are supposed to do. So, you settle down at your desk and get started. However, you quickly realize it is too tough, and give yourself a break, and decide to check your social media.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Down the pike, you find yourself putting off your work and telling yourself you will come to it.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">When you do come back to it, you feel the same dread and put it off again. And the cycle goes on and on.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The trouble is that <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/using-behavioral-psychology-to-break-bad-habits/" >your brain gets used to knowing there are no hard and fast consequences</a> for not finishing a task. In the long run, you find yourself unmotivated to put yourself to work and get anything done.</p>

<p dir="ltr">To cure yourself of this cycle, stop rewarding yourself for not doing anything. Be hard on yourself and say, for example, you will only check social media after you have completed your task. It will take some time to get used to, as you will be rewiring your reward system in your brain. However, this will quickly get you motivated to do stuff. So, in the end, you only reward your good behavior of getting things done, and not leaving them halfway done.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">3.&nbsp;You do not know what you want</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to what you want" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-do-not-know-what-you-want9ee3c6edb5.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Most people are indecisive about what they want. They do not have goals that they want to achieve and do not have the ambition to pursue a meaningful life.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So, if you do not know where you are headed, how are you supposed to be excited about it? It is like driving on an unknown road and hoping you will reach a dream destination. Nine out of ten, that destination will be a let-down.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So, do yourself a favor, have some goals. This will give you the motivation to get up and start pursuing things that matter in your life.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">4.&nbsp;You are relying on willpower</h2>

<p dir="ltr">If you are sitting around and waiting around on your sheer will power to do things, guess what, you will keep on waiting, and nothing will get done.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">Willpower is an ability to get things done when we want to get them done. However, since it is ability, you have to practice it for you to harness it.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Therefore, if you have not been exercising your willpower, and are relying on your willpower alone to get things done, you will not be very frustrated. You will soon realize willpower alone cannot get you motivated to work.</p>

<p dir="ltr">You will just have to get started on your work, whether you feel it or not. From there, motivation will find you along the way.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">5.&nbsp;You are relying on extrinsic motivation</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to extrinsic motivation" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-are-relying-on-extrinsic-motivation-839efe8b29.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">When your boss congratulates you for a job well done, do you feel motivated to keep on working? However, when the praise words fade away, you do not feel motivated?</p>

<p dir="ltr">If you are this kind of person,<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/creative-leadership/202004/extrinsic-vs-intrinsic-motivation-work#:~:text=Intrinsic%20motivation%2C%20on%20the%20other,the%20love%20of%20the%20work." > it is time to switch to intrinsic motivation</a>. This is the motivation that comes from inside you and stems from inner passions, beliefs, and values that you cultivate in you. If you build on them, they will motivate you for years and years to come.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So, switch from extrinsic motivations like praise, rewards, and stars to intrinsic motivation, which will keep you going no matter what.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">6.&nbsp;You are stuck</h2>

<p dir="ltr">Are you hitting the same snug over, and over again? You feel like you are not making any progress. This can be causing you to lose your motivation.</p>

<p dir="ltr">If things are stuck, try and change your perspective. With newfound insight, you will be able to overcome the challenges and find your motivation coming back .</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">7.&nbsp;You stay in bed</h2>

<p dir="ltr">How long do you stay in bed?&nbsp; <a href="https://www.scienceabc.com/humans/why-is-it-a-bad-idea-to-stay-in-bed-for-too-long.html" >It has been shown that lying in bed for too long can ruin your mood, well being, and most of all, your motivation.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p dir="ltr">So, the next time you feel like hitting the snooze button, or lazing in bed, know you are hurting your motivation.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>

<p dir="ltr">Feeling bummed out when you have work to do can be very frustrating. And not knowing how to get out of it, adds salt to injury.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Fortunately, with the above tips, you can now understand why you do not feel motivated and know how to get yourself motivated.</p>

<p>Much of your ErgoChair can be changed and modified to meet you specific needs as a user. As an <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs">ergonomic office chair</a> with premium seating modifications, it&rsquo;s designed to make work feel good. But not all know how to adjust ErgoChair Pro to meet their need.</p>
<p>In this blog, we&rsquo;ll explain the entire range of <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair">ErgoChair Pro</a>&nbsp;features&nbsp;in greater detail.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s6">1. Seat Tilt</h2>
<p>The angle of the seat should be such that you feel most comfortable in an upright posture. The ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat tilt can be adjusted to provide an angle that counterbalances good posture: feet flat, back comfortably resting on the chair&rsquo;s back. Adjust as needed to create a seating surface that gently pulls you back to the chair as you sit in a strong, upright posture.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s7">2. Back Tilt Tension</h2>
<p>The chair back allows the user to recline while keeping the chair balanced. This tension can be controlled with a hand crank on the chair. It can be increased, which increases the amount of force required to make the chair recline. Decreasing it makes the chair easier to recline.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s8">3. Tilt Angle</h2>
<p>Customers love ErgoChair Pro&nbsp;for its comfortable tilt angle. Easily lever the handle up or down to gain a more tilt angle whenever you need it. Use this ErgoChair Pro&nbsp;feature&nbsp;to deeply relax your back and spine.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200727/Tilt_Anglebf05ab0aa1.jpg" alt="adjust lumbar support" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" data-height="1080" data-image-id="1*1NopxUPiErm1d8PsqwAd4Q.jpeg" data-width="1920" /></p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s9">4. Back Recline</h2>
<p>The chair&rsquo;s back should be angled such that the user is neither slouched back nor leaning too far forward. The ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat back is adjustable through a handle located on the left side of the mechanisms.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210607/How_to_Adjust_Office_Chair_Tilt_Step_by_Step_206cf32b742.jpg" alt="Back Recline" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sa">5. Seat Height Adjustment</h2>
<p>The seat height ought to allow users to maintain both feet placed easily on the ground and a minimal amount of weight placed on the backs of the legs. The ErgoChair allows the seat height to be adjusted to accommodate the user at their ideal seat height.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sb">6. Seat Depth</h2>
<p>The seat&rsquo;s depth can be moved forward or backward, depending on the needs of the user. It should be adjusted so that the back of the chair does not press against the calves. A handle under the seat unlocks the seat allowing the user to make the desired adjustment to ErgoChair Pro.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sc">7. Headrest Adjustment</h2>
<p>The headrest can be angled to the user&rsquo;s idea position. It can also move up and down. The headrest has a height range of 70mm allowing it to be placed in the most appropriate position to the user.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sd">8. Armrest Adjustments</h2>
<p>The armrests can be moved up and down as well as left and right. Users need simply grasp the armrests and use a tab hidden under them to move the armrests up and down. The armrests can also move freely on the chair: left and right, in and out. Adjust such that the arms are resting easily at a natural angle that does not strain the shoulders or arms. You can check the pictures below for ErgoChair Pro (ErgoChair 2) armrest adjustment instruction.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210820/Must-Have-Accessories-for-Your-Office-Chair_1202c67e6112.jpg" alt="Seat Height Adjustment" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>

<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3se" dir="ltr">Creating an Ideal Sitting Posture: Adjusting Your Ergonomic Chair for Comfort and Health</h2>
<p>Adjusting an ergonomic chair for an ideal sitting posture is essential for maintaining good posture, preventing musculoskeletal discomfort, and promoting overall health and well-being. Here are step-by-step instructions for adjusting an ergonomic chair:</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sf">Adjust the seat height</h3>
<p>Start by adjusting the height of the chair so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at a 90-degree angle. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. If your feet don't reach the floor comfortably, use a footrest.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sg">Adjust the seat depth</h3>
<p>The seat depth should allow you to sit with your back against the chair's backrest while leaving a small gap between the back of your knees and the seat pan. Adjust the seat depth so that you can sit with your back straight and your buttocks all the way back in the chair.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sh">Adjust the backrest</h3>
<p>The backrest should support the natural curve of your lower back (lumbar curve). Adjust the backrest height and angle so that it fits snugly against the small of your back, providing support to your lumbar spine.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3si">Adjust the armrests</h3>
<p>The armrests should be adjusted so that your arms are relaxed and your shoulders are not hunched. Adjust the height of the armrests so that your forearms are parallel to the floor and your elbows are at a 90-degree angle. If the armrests are obstructing you from getting close to your workstation, consider lowering or removing them.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sj">Adjust the recline angle</h3>
<p>Many ergonomic chairs have a recline feature that allows you to tilt the backrest backward. Adjust the recline angle to a position where you can maintain a slightly reclined posture while keeping your feet flat on the floor and your back supported.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sk">Sit back and relax</h3>
<p>Once you have made all the necessary adjustments, sit back in the chair and relax your shoulders. Maintain an upright posture with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. Avoid crossing your legs for prolonged periods, as it can lead to poor circulation and discomfort.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sl">Take breaks</h3>
<p>Remember to take regular breaks from sitting, and incorporate movement and stretching into your day to promote circulation and reduce muscle tension.</p>
<p>It's important to note that the ideal sitting posture may vary slightly depending on your body shape, size, and personal preferences. Experiment with different adjustments until you find the most comfortable and supportive position for your body. Consulting the chair's user manual or seeking guidance from an ergonomics professional can also be helpful in achieving the ideal sitting posture.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sm" dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sn" dir="ltr">What is the ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat tilt for?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat tilt can be adjusted to provide an angle that counterbalances good posture: feet flat, back comfortably resting on the chair&rsquo;s back. Adjust as needed to create a seating surface that gently pulls you back to the chair as you sit in a strong, upright posture.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3so" dir="ltr">What is the back tilt tension's function?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">This tension can be controlled with a hand crank on thechair. It can be increased, which increases the amount of force required to make the chair recline. Decreasing it makes the chair easier to recline.</p>

You can adjust pretty much anything including the height, armrest, headrest, backrest and even the seat tilt.

This tension can be controlled with a hand crank on the chair. It can be increased, which increases the amount of force required to make the chair recline. Decreasing it makes the chair easier to recline.

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">The key is to make sure all tools, tasks, equipment, and workstations are adapted to suit the unique needs of each employee, rather than forcing them to adapt their work style to the less than ideal setup of their surroundings. This reduces the instance of </span><a href="https://ergo-plus.com/musculoskeletal-disorders-msd/" rel="nofollow" >musculoskeletal disorders, or MSDs</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Step 1 - Examine Workplace Tasks to Determine Risk Factors</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">First, you have to try to understand critical ergonomic workplace risk factors and take all work tasks under review in order to know which ones are applicable. This will potentially make an immediate difference, as reducing physical stresses could eliminate up to half of serious work-related injuries per year.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img loading="lazy" alt="Risk factor" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200928/1e5e0c3c874.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">It&rsquo;s crucial to anticipate problem areas and make whatever changes necessary to the environment to reduce physical stress wherever possible. These are some of the main risk factors to look out for:</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Force:</b>&nbsp;A leading cause of injury is the unnecessary use of excessive force.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Awkward positions: </b>Postures that cause your employees to extend their limits beyond what is natural can have side effects like nerve compression and irritated tendons. Remember to guide your employee with a </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/best-sitting-posture-tips-with-an-ergonomic-chair-for-developers" >good sitting posture</a> and alternate between sitting and standing while working.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Repetition: </b>Movements that are repeated over and over again cause wear and tear overtimes, especially for your tendons, nerves, and joints.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Contact stress and compression:</b>&nbsp;Any action that concentrates excessive force on a small area, such as firmly holding something with a sharp edge, can cut off blood circulation and cause damage to tendons and nerves.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Sedentary positions:</b>&nbsp;Any time the worker must hold a single position for extended periods of time, they risk damage to their muscles and restricting their blood flow.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Fast movements:</b>&nbsp;Increasing the speed with which someone bends or twists can also increase the impact it has on the rest of your body.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Vibration:</b>&nbsp;Tools that vibrate excessively can cause damage to your nerves and increase muscle fatigue. Your bones and joints can also feel an impact from vibration that affects your whole body.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Cold temperatures:</b>&nbsp;If your office isn&rsquo;t sufficiently warmed, it can slow down your muscle dexterity and cause workers to exert more force to perform tasks that ordinarily wouldn&rsquo;t require it.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2"><b>Recovery time:&nbsp;</b>This is a critical component that many overlook as they focus on completing their tasks. Without time to rest and recover, employees may not be able to sufficiently heal from the trauma caused by these other risk factors.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Step 2 - Address any areas of friction</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Administrative controls, </span><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/using-ppe.html" rel="nofollow" >personal protective equipment</a> (PPE), and engineering controls may all be used to keep risk factors in check. These are each worth evaluating in the quest to reduce or eliminate them, and keep everything under control.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Transportation changes may need to be made as part of using engineering controls to reduce risk factors and overall friction. It may also mean changing processes that expose workers to avoidable risks, and rearranging things to make everything easier for employees to access. Workstation layouts can be updated and tool designs are also things that can be taken into consideration.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img loading="lazy" alt="areas of friction" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200928/2de65dff829.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Administrative controls are a way of changing the way your employees work under certain established practices and policies. Implementing regular breaks, rotating shifts, or learning to recognize ergonomic areas of friction are all possible ways to implement administrative controls.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">PPE, finally, is a more personalized approach that employees may consider to help them in their own unique situations to meet their individual needs. Those at risk of carpal tunnel may need wrist supports, for example.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Step 3 - Ask the Right Questions to Make Your Workspace Ergonomic</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Choosing the best tools for all your tasks is a no-brainer. In order to do so, of course, you have to have an intimate understanding of the work processes, as well as the safety risks they pose to each employee. Once you have an idea, you can implement these tools effectively and in a measured and controlled way. It&rsquo;s best to ask:</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Are there awkward, bulky, or heavy items that must be handled in this process?</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Are there a lot of product changeovers every day?</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Is material flow part of every workstation, like conveyor belts or racks?</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Are there many employees who frequently rotate through their shifts?</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Do employees work independently, or in together in groups?</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Are lighting, computer equipment, or power tools needed in employee workstations?</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img loading="lazy" alt="Ergonomic workstation" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200928/331e088bd8f.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">The wrong size or height of a work surface can make a detrimental impact on employees&rsquo; comfort and health. Frequently used tools being out of reach can also endanger employees when they are straining for things they use every day.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">This is easily resolved by rearranging workstations and the tools required most frequently. Make whatever adjustments you can, and try to use office tools that are adjustable and customizable so that employees can easily make necessary changes.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Step 4 - Use Proven Science to Improve Office Ergonomics</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Scientific evidence suggests that a key principle to remember is that the most efficient work occurs within your employees&rsquo; &ldquo;primary reach zones,&rdquo; the area around your employee in which they are physically able to reach with minimal strain or movement. Keeping everything within these zones as much as possible helps reduce stress.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Workstations need to be frequently checked to ensure they are at the proper height, which ensures all items on the desk remain within this optimal primary reach zone. In general, work with heavy lifting requires lower surfaces, and more precise work will require higher surfaces.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img loading="lazy" alt="Proven science to improve office ergonomics" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200928/4d9c8bcc4b8.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></span><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">The easiest way to accomplish this is by using an</span> <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks/autonomous-desk-eureka" >electric standing desk</a>, which lifts and lowers with an electric engine. This ensures your bench can be accessed by all workers equally, without much effort, seamlessly switching between sitting and standing positions.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">Be sure to also include access to frequently used tools, a</span> <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair" >comfortable and adjustable chair</a>, a foot rest and proper lighting.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ddb3397-7fff-fc01-66e3-a68859f9c8a2">It&rsquo;s important now more than ever to consider the health and safety of your employees. Make sure you&rsquo;re using the best tools at your disposal to ensure everyone works in a happy and healthy work environment.

<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-fd47c100-7fff-c625-6b1d-27f9890d679f">Ergonomic headphones are a must for anyone who wants to groove along to their favorite tunes or simply stay focused and at ease throughout the workday. Though the sound quality is important, an ergonomic fit is even more so. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve picked our top 5 favorite ergonomic headphones for you to use at work in 2022.</span></p>

<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">Do you have a killer playlist you can&rsquo;t work without? Is music a part of your routine? Does the right music make you feel more focused and productive?</span></p>

<div>
<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">Generally speaking,</span> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/listening-to-music-at-work-can-make-you-more-productive-2018-4#:~:text=Science%20Contributors-,Listening%20to%20music%20at%20work%20can,more%20productive%2C%20according%20to%20research&amp;text=Listening%20to%20your%20favorite%20music,and%20increase%20your%20productivity%20levels." rel="nofollow" >music can be a powerful tool</a> for boosting productivity. In a recent <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0305735605050650" rel="nofollow" >study</a>, Teresa Lesiuk at the University of Miami tested participants who completed a task with music and those who completed tasks without them. Those who listened to music generally completed their tasks more quickly.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">But while listening to music can be a great way to work better, what about the comfort of wearing headphones for hours on end? Some headphones simply aren&rsquo;t designed to fit comfortably or ergonomically for extended periods of time. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve picked our top 5 </span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/an-ergonomic-office-chair-a-best-buying-guide" >ergonomic</a> headphones for you to do your most productive work throughout the day, with optimal comfort.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">1. Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Noise Cancelling</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">We love the </span>Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones. They&rsquo;re one of the most popular models on the market for a reason&mdash;they&rsquo;re really comfortable! They&rsquo;ve also worked on their noise-canceling technology for years now, so with each new model, they bring new refinements. You can choose from either a wireless or wired option and the internal battery boasts an extensive usage period before it drains. In our opinion, you get just about everything you could want out of headphones with this model.</p>

<p><img alt="Bose headphone" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200924/138b5f8b2df.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" />The soft ear cushions are shaped like an oval with premium cushioning that rests easily on your ears. Though many earphones have circular shaped &ldquo;cans,&rdquo; these feature an oval design that reduces some of the pressure on your ears, which makes them ideal for extended wearing. They also feature unique button controls on the right side which you can use to control your music wirelessly. They&rsquo;re also lightweight at only 234 grams, and the headband is also cushioned for your comfort.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">2. Sennheiser HD 598 Over-Ear Headphones</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">Sennheiser is a trusted brand in headphone manufacturers, making some great and affordable options for end-users. The </span>Sennheiser HD 598 is a standout because it was designed not only for ergonomics but for audiophiles who value clear sound and high-fidelity audio. Amazingly, they&rsquo;re not out of most people&rsquo;s reach with a budget-friendly price, and most importantly, they&rsquo;re super comfy! The materials on the earpads are velvety-smooth and breathable, ensuring your ears don&rsquo;t get too hot or uncomfortable for extended listening.</p>

<p><img alt="Sennheiser headphones" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200924/2adec1449c1.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" />Supple leather cushioning undergirds the plastic headband which reduces pressure on the top of your head, and hardly exerts any pressure on your ears at all. This is especially important if you plan on listening to music for more than an hour or so. The earpads on these headphones are also oval-shaped, an optimal ergonomic shape for any over-ear headphones. Not only do these sound great, but they&rsquo;re built to last a long time. Sennheisers are known to be a years-long investment.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">3. MPOW 059 Bluetooth Headphones</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">What about those who are more bound to a tighter budget? That&rsquo;s no issue with the </span>MPOW 059, affordable headphones that are as comfortable as some of the more expensive options. They are smooth and attractive looking, a statement piece as much as they are a useful tool for your ergonomic music listening. The noise-canceling works quite well on these headphones too! Their earphones are made of a material they claim is similar to the texture of human skin, and they are quite comfortable.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="MPOW Headphones" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200924/3bb1afd8ba4.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">With stainless steel construction, these headphones are quite durable as well. They boast up to 20 hours of listening time with their built-in batteries, which is great for people who travel often or work for long hours throughout the day. There&rsquo;s also a microphone included, which means you can answer and receive calls with them like you would with smaller earphones like AirPods, as well as built-in controls that let you wirelessly manage your music.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">4. Bowers &amp; Wilkins P9 Signature HiFi Over-Ear Headphones</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">If you&rsquo;re looking for headphones that were designed by experts, look no further than the </span>Bowers &amp; Wilkins P9. These headphones were carefully constructed by a team of researchers who wanted to provide headphones that have optimal sound and comfort. It doesn&rsquo;t hurt that the earphones are covered in luxurious Italian leather either. You&rsquo;ll listen in total comfort for hours on end with these headphones thanks to their careful construction. Fortunately, they aren&rsquo;t very tight either.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Bowers &amp; Wilkins Headphone" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200924/4e3c436d1e8.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">Though they are heavier than some of the other headphones, they are still lightweight enough for you not to notice them much. These headphones, however, are not wireless. Part of achieving the best sound quality is transmitting the audio through a wired connection, so though you do sacrifice some flexibility with these headphones, the enhanced audio quality and overall comfort are well worth it. These are best for people who spend most of their time at their workstations, rather than those who want headphones that are convenient for portability.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">5. Avantree Over-Ear Headphones</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb984e60-7fff-0836-b11d-6930ec052dda">Though not as expensive as some of the audiophile favorites, the </span>Avantree Over-Ear headphones boast superior sound quality for a lower price. With high fidelity sound and crystal clear highs and lows, you&rsquo;ll surely be happy with the way these cans sound. Part of that is because they connect via wired connection with a 3.5 mm jack. Of course, they are extremely comfortable for long periods of time as well.</p>

<p>&nbsp;<img alt="Avantree Headphones" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200924/55a05de2aef.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" />The earpads are covered with a specially designed synthetic fabric that is made for extended use and should rest comfortably on your skin. They are also very breathable and comfortable so your ears won&rsquo;t get too hot after an extended period of time. The customizable headband is easy to adjust, meaning these headphones are highly versatile and should fit many different head sizes. You&rsquo;ll find exceptional battery life with these as well.</p>

10 Best LED Desk Lamps in 2024

<p>Depending on who you talk to, working from home is either the best thing ever, or it&rsquo;s really rough stuff. It&rsquo;s not an easy world to navigate for everyone, especially those who rely on the amenities of the office and the reliable schedule of a normal work day.</p>

<p>A 2012 study published in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization shows that there are certain advantages and disadvantages to working from home. On one hand, for dull and boring tasks, a more structured work environment is beneficial. However for creative tasks, working from home is better.</p>

<p>If you&rsquo;re someone who&rsquo;s having difficulty adjusting to work from home life, you may be experiencing a lack of motivation. Perhaps you&rsquo;ve got low energy levels or can&rsquo;t stay focused. Regardless, there are a lot of great ways you can combat these lethargic feelings by simply staying on track and breaking some bad work from home habits.</p>

<p>You may think working from home gives you the freedom to work however you want, and to an extent it does, however that doesn&rsquo;t mean you shouldn&rsquo;t maintain some basic ground rules. To help you pinpoint what may be holding you back, here are five bad work habits you should look out for.</p>

<h2>1. Working in your pajamas</h2>

<p>This is a big one. One of the biggest allures to working from home is being able to simply work in whatever clothes you&rsquo;re wearing&mdash;or no clothes at all! While this may seem appealing, <a href="https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/why-its-important-to-get-dressed-while-working-from-home-and-what-to-wear" rel="nofollow" >it can actually make you less focused and productive</a>.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Dress for the job you want&rdquo; might be changed for this advice blog to &ldquo;dress for the job you currently have&rdquo;...even if you&rsquo;re working from home. Getting changed and wearing proper working attire is a great way to cue your mind and prepare it for &ldquo;work mode.&rdquo;</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of bad habits working in your pajamas" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200827/1.Working_in_your_pajamasdff1e94715.jpg" style="width: 1536px; height: 864px; margin-bottom: 20px;" /></p>

<h2>2. Sleeping in late</h2>

<p>Resist the temptation to sleep in late, this is a poor work habit that you need to break. This is practical for several reasons:</p>

<p>You might be needed earlier for something and if you&rsquo;re asleep or half-awake, you won&rsquo;t be able to respond adequately.</p>

<p>You&rsquo;ll start staying up later and later, reducing your time spent enjoying the morning.</p>

<p>You might have trouble readjust back to waking up early when it&rsquo;s time to go back to the office.</p>

<p>This is important to keep in mind. Just because you&rsquo;re at home doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;re off. You can take more liberties and take your time, sure, but try not to upset your sleep schedule so that you can maintain a healthy sleeping cycle and ensure you get the proper amount of rest for the workday.</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of bad habit sleeping in late" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200827/2.Sleeping_in_late0bb1cfad92.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px; margin-bottom: 20px;" /></p>

<h2>3. Keeping loose work hours</h2>

<p>It&rsquo;s important when you work from home to maintain a strict separation of working and leisure hours. When you&rsquo;re doing both things in the same space, it&rsquo;s tempting for the line to get blurred, meaning you&rsquo;re never fully in either working mode or relaxation mode. <a href="https://lifehacker.com/take-back-your-free-time-establishing-boundaries-betwe-5640376" rel="nofollow" >Both are important</a>!</p>

<p>Be sure to <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/my-daily-work-from-home-routine" >keep a set schedule of working hours</a>, and always finish on time. Turn off your notifications after work so you don&rsquo;t have to deal with any after-hours emails until you&#39;re back &ldquo;on the clock&rdquo; the next day. It&rsquo;s important for you to respect your resting and relaxing time as much as you do your work time.</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of bad habit keeping loose work hours" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200827/3.Keeping_loose_work_hoursf6b8a396e6.jpg" style="width: 1536px; height: 864px; margin-bottom: 20px;" /></p>

<h2>4. Working in bed</h2>

<p>This is a big no-no. You need to get out of bed! If you stay in bed, you&rsquo;ll encounter a host of problems:</p>

<ul style="list-style-type:disc;padding-left: 20px;">
	<li>You won&rsquo;t be in a working mindset. Your brain doesn&rsquo;t associate staying in bed with going to work.</li>
	<li>You&rsquo;ll feel drowsy and find it more difficult to focus.</li>
	<li>You&rsquo;ll feel cramped and develop back pain overtime. Working in bed is not an ergonomic position!</li>
</ul>

<p>Be sure not to give into this temptation. It not only impacts your ability to work efficiently and with focus, but it also has detrimental physical impacts on your health. Getting out of bed, working at a proper desk, and stretching every so often will help you stay sharp and alert.</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of bad habit working in bed" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200827/4.Working_in_bed29262f7c96.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px; margin-bottom: 20px;" /></p>

<h2>5. Working in a cramped office space</h2>

<p>Some people work in bed, on their couch, or on their table, and don&rsquo;t give themselves the proper work-from-home desk setup they deserve. You can&rsquo;t do your best work if you&rsquo;re not working with the best tools.</p>

<p>Consider investing in an <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks/autonomous-desk-eureka" >affordable standing desk</a> and an <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair" >ergonomic office chair</a> to make your work day that much more manageable. A standing desk will help you by allowing you to do your work standing if you want to. An office chair with lots of different levers and adjustments will conform to what your body needs much more than a simple kitchen chair.</p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

<p>Overall, these are the five things anyone working from home should avoid. Do you find yourself tempted by any of these bad work from home habits?

Top 10 Books for Startups in 2024

<p dir="ltr">For people used to live productions, we are entering a time of uncertainty as smaller crowds become commonplace, and people are wary of going out. The best way to reach your audience now is streaming online!</p>

<p dir="ltr">In the past few months alone, streaming and binge watching around the world<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/27/21195358/streaming-netflix-disney-hbo-now-youtube-twitch-amazon-prime-video-coronavirus-broadband-network" > has gone up over 65%, with HBO Go reporting a 70% increase</a>. It&rsquo;s no wonder so many creative professionals are turning to online streaming to meet the demand of this growing market.</p>

<p dir="ltr">But how can you stream live shows like a pro? The answer isn&rsquo;t as complicated as you think! You don&rsquo;t need a lot of professional equipment to get started. Just the willingness to learn, and may be a bit of creativity.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The first and most important step is, of course, choosing a platform. The focus of this article will be to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each platform, so you can make the best decision depending on what kind of content you want to create.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Facebook Live</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of Facebook Live" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200811/4.Facebook_Live6d1cec4bca.jpg" style="height:1080px; width:1920px" />Facebook is by far one of the most popular streaming platforms with a broad international audience. Facebook offers several key advantages:</p>

<ul style="list-style-type:disc;padding-left: 20px;">
	<li>Wide reach extending to a large audience of many different age ranges</li>
	<li>Rich features including live commenting and reactions</li>
	<li>Cross-promotion with other Facebook pages. This means you can stream live on multiple locations like pages and groups to expand your audience and collaborate with other content creators.</li>
	<li>Notifications that let your followers and friends know that you&rsquo;re going live</li>
	<li>Past recordings can be easily archived on your page for easy viewing in case some people can&rsquo;t tune in live</li>
	<li>Somewhat surprisingly, a Facebook account is not actually required for people to tune in!</li>
</ul>

<p dir="ltr">Facebook has stronger and more active censorship algorithms than most other streaming platforms, which means they could mute or cut off your broadcast if any copyrighted material (like songs or video/movie clips) is detected. If you plan on using copyrighted material as part of your live stream, this limitation may be a deal breaker. However, if you&rsquo;re sharing completely original content, Facebook is a strong choice!</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Instagram Live</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of Instagram Live" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200811/3._Instagram_Live1a8c363cec.jpg" style="height:1080px; width:1920px" />Instagram skews younger, and has exploded in growth over the past few years.&nbsp; It shares many of the same strengths as Facebook, though it doesn&rsquo;t quite work the same way. The advantages:</p>

<ul style="list-style-type:disc;padding-left: 20px;">
	<li>Widely-used platform, though the audience skews younger</li>
	<li>Followers receive notifications as soon as you go live</li>
	<li>Your live status also appears at the top of the splash page</li>
	<li>Generally less programming to compete with as it&rsquo;s not as popular as Facebook Live</li>
	<li>Offers the same rich interactions and comments as Facebook</li>
</ul>

<p dir="ltr">Instagram, however, is a little more limited. As of now, you can only use it on your phone via the app and your phone&rsquo;s built-in camera, and videos only display in portrait mode. This is a great way to create more &ldquo;informal&rdquo; content or just talk to your audience in a more candid way, though it is more challenging to produce a high-budget video with Instagram.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The same censorship algorithms affect Instagram, so be careful when using copyrighted material. You will also be limited to a one hour stream on Instagram, so if you&rsquo;re producing longer form content, you may want to go live elsewhere, or use Instagram as a way to get your followers to check out your content on a different platform.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Twitch</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of Twitch" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200811/2.Twitchde7b40f18f.jpg" style="height:1080px; width:1920px" />Twitch is a rising star in the streaming world. Once a niche platform for gamers streaming their gameplay, now Twitch has become the platform of choice for many content creators. The advantages:</p>

<ul style="list-style-type:disc;padding-left: 20px;">
	<li>Monetized incentives for streamers with larger followings</li>
	<li>Ability to use copyrighted material during live stream</li>
	<li>Comments and interactions (and so many emojis!)</li>
	<li>Twitch account not needed to watch</li>
</ul>

<p dir="ltr">Obviously, Twitch isn&rsquo;t quite as ubiquitous as Instagram and Facebook, however the platform itself is quite intuitive and the app also works quite well. It&rsquo;s a versatile platform that has been the top choice for performers who use clips of copyrighted material for their performances. You can also archive your live streams on Twitch for up to 14 days after they&rsquo;ve been recorded.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">YouTube Live</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="Photo of Youtube Live" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200811/1.YouTube_Live288c3c5dd5.jpg" style="height:1080px; width:1920px" />YouTube is of course one of the most popular video streaming platforms in the world. YouTube live, however, is a lesser-known feature that isn&rsquo;t quite as robust and interactive as the other platforms. Rather than using YouTube Live, we recommend having a YouTube channel as a backup platform for all your pre-recorded content. This is a much better way to utilize the platform, though be warned that YouTube will mute or remove content that contains copyrighted material.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>

<p dir="ltr">Get cracking! It&rsquo;s time to get out there and make some great content. Just because the world is mostly staying home these days doesn&rsquo;t mean you have to limit your creativity. If anything this is just a new opportunity for you to create exciting new content that you might not have otherwise tried!</p>
