Sustainability is an important concept at C⁴ Workspace. Sustainability can mean different things to different people: green, long term, viable. Well, in order to be sustainable in the viable, long term sense people need to be comfortable and healthy when they work. That means they’re happier and can work for a longer part of their life. (Which I contend is, and am resolved to being, a LONG time.)

Working comfortably is what ergonomics is all about. The interplay between your desk, your chair, your monitor, keyboard and mouse determine if you’re a happy camper in your office.

A tweet by @SacCoworking pointed out this article over at Freelance Switch. “What Freelancers Must Know About Ergonomics” has lots of good information about ergonomics for desk users, freelance or not. It’s a good worthwhile read.

Coincidentally, C⁴ Workspace is all about people who use desks. In case your were wondering.
