After the computer, the desk chair is the most important piece of equipment a freelance writer needs to invest in. Don’t be tempted to cut corners. When sitting for hours in one position in order to make money, that chair shouldn’t be any old cast off folding chair or a bean bag to slouch against. You need an executive office chair for health, productivity and economical reasons.
Position Importance
When you write for long stretches at a time, you need an executive office chair that is the right length for your legs and gives proper back support. Being stuck into a swivel chair with short legs or a broken spring puts your back in awkward positions and causes pain. This pain gets worse every day you have to sit in that chair.
Since freelance writers are responsible for paying all of their medical expenses, preventative medicine pays. Investing in an executive office chair that is comfortable can help keep you from grabbing bottles of painkillers and can help you work longer. It’s like riding a horse with smooth gaits or bouncy gaits. A mile on the bouncy horse will feel like five on a smooth gaited one.
Mobility
Try to avoid static chairs. It’s best to get an ergonomic swivel chair. This helps you save energy by comfortably rolling around your home office, rather than shoving the desk chair back and having to get up to the filing cabinet and hunch over it. New swivel chairs also have less of a chance of harbouring bed bugs as do used or rented office chairs.
