Episode 48: The mind-body-mouse connection: How to build a happy space at your desk
Source:
www.podbean.com/eau/pb-b8guy-17671a0
Today’s podcast guest shared a startling statistic: we spend a whopping 82,000 hours of our lives at work. While many of us are great at prioritising our physical health outside the office - going for runs, eating well, walking in nature - we often forget about our physical wellbeing in the place where we spend most of our waking hours - especially if we’re desk-bound. It's a bit of a disconnect and it could be harmful in the long run.
In this episode, we’re joined by Agnes Lisowska Masson from Logitech. Agnes is an expert in human-computer interaction, working in the lab to discover what really works.
We explore how to make our workspaces work for us, not against us, and we look at how small changes in our daily routines can make a big difference.
No matter where you're working - from home, in a shared office space, or in a traditional office setting - this episode is packed with useful tips to help you work smarter and create a happy desk space that will boost your wellbeing.
