Lockdown 3 is well underway and is different from the previous two stay at home episodes. Many people who are home-working again may also be having the additional pressures of extended home-schooling and continuing worries about themselves or family & friends.  The poor working habits people got into previously may now be having cumulative effects and manifesting in aches, pains, or other symptoms and discomfort. Professors Koch and Jackson outline 7 key aspects we should all consider in order to make sure we stay healthy while enforced  home-working continues. These are important things to address.

1. Good posture and healthy desk working
2. Looking after your eyes
3. Controlling your environment
4. Sharing your workspaces with others
5. Exercising and frequent movement
6. Moderating food and alcohol intake
7. Make a reasonable schedule of your work
