Whats the reasoning behind "[elevate] your computer monitor so that it is four to five inches above your eyes"?
It's harder to hunch over while looking up all day

#12I feel much better since I started working remotely.
I lost 35 kg, started walking about 8 km every day, i can switch my position in front of the computer (half the time i sit on a ball by my desktop, the other half i lie on my bed with laptop on it). So I don't have back pain anymore.
Please don't make me waste 1 hour commuting every day and sit in 1 place for 8 hours ever again.

#13I'm curious if brain fog is more prevalent in people that live alone versus with another person.

How did you get in the habit of walking 8km a day working remotely? I hope your example can motivate me

I weighted 130 kg and decided it was too much. Also I had lots of time so I started waking early and walking 5-10 km before work and more on weekends.

Not the OP, but in a similar situation. It’s amazing how much more time and energy you have available to do other things when you aren’t wasting time and energy (both physical and mental) on a stupid pointless commute.

#18Bullshit article from a bullshit website! The idea that everyone is now some slouchy, pot bellied, dry eyed slob as a result of WFH is just insulting people's intelligence.

#19What dreck. What was hurting my body and brain is the ~2 hours of commute I had to go through every day when I was working in the office.
Nowadays I can spend the extra time working out or taking care of myself.

I have a thing that I do since years since I live in Vienna. I basically go around to at least 2-3 cafes a day, sit and work in one for a couple of hours, then walk to the next one for 4-5 kms and so on. On a typical day, I walk between 8-11 kms depending on the circuit I choose.
I have never enjoyed office atmospheres and need life/noise around me to be able to concentrate. I'm also fairly restless and need that walking to be able to think / clear my head.
