Add Movement to Your Workstation Setup
A workstation checklist helps you set up your desk, chair, screen, and keyboard. To support that setup during the day, use the Posture Workout App to create a reusable posture routine for desk breaks.
This can include neck resets, shoulder work, chest openers, and upper-back exercises.
Who it's for
This Workstation Checklist is for teams that want consistent execution, less rework, and clear ownership.
- Standardize quality - run the same Workstation steps every time, regardless of who executes
- Save time - reuse a proven Workstation workflow instead of rebuilding processes from scratch
- Improve accountability - assign owners and see what's done vs. what's pending
- Onboard faster - use the Workstation checklist as the SOP and training guide
- Coordinate across roles - handoffs are clear and everyone works from the same source of truth
How to use it
How to use this Workstation Checklist:
- Start by saving it - save as a Template if you'll reuse it, or as a Checklist if it's a one-off project.
- Customize it once for your workflow - remove what doesn't apply and add your team-specific steps.
- Assign ownership and execute - set owners/due dates where needed and track completion as work happens.
- Reuse without rebuilding - when Workstation comes up again, start from your saved version and run it with clear ownership.
