Just realized the $40 standing desk mat is why my setup actually feels cozy
Everyone here keeps posting $200 chairs and warm bulb pics, but nobody mentions your feet, and after standing 4 hours a day on hardwood in my Denver apartment I finally caved on a cheap foam mat. It's the difference between a workspace you dread and one you chill in, so what's the one cheap thing in your nook doing the heavy lifting?
Wait, FOUR hours a day standing on hardwood? That sounds like pure foot torture, lol. I stand maybe an hour total and my heels are already yelling at me by lunch. The fact that you held out long enough to "finally cave" on a $40 mat is honestly wild to me. I would've tapped out way sooner and just worked from the couch. Your feet must've been begging for mercy every single day. Good call on the foam, that's the real MVP of your setup.
