The desk setup card

A pocket-size reference that walks you through a proper workstation setup, one step at a time. Print it and keep it at your desk.

Preview of the A6 card, seated side

What's on the card

Side 1: Seated setup

The 8-step seated sequence: chair height, seat depth, lean tension, armrests, desk height, keyboard and mouse, monitor distance and monitor height.

Side 2: Standing setup

The 5-step standing sequence: posture, desk height (and the one warning most people miss), keyboard and mouse, monitor distance and monitor height.

How to print

  • Print on A6 paper at 100% scale (avoid "fit to page").
  • Or print up to 4 cards on one A4 sheet, double-sided, and cut them out.
  • Sturdy paper (250 g/m² or more) holds up best on a desk.
