Tomorrow I'm gonna look into buying a stand for my MacBook that makes working a little easier  

My screen is only 11" and I'm working in the living room on a small table from the couch.. My back hates me so much  

So if you don't mind I'm gonna spend a little from the donations on it, I'll keep it cheap ofc and it will improve the workflow (drastically I think)

@stux please do! Are you talking about a standing desk? Do you also need a decent chair?

@stux @jentaub I use one of these when I want to work in different places. I love it and it tilts and folds away!

@jentaub @stux I was going to say that too. I do work on the couch sometimes but I can put my feet up so it's comfortable but when I'm working, working (Teams meetings), I use my son's gaming chair which has a lumbar and neck cushion and lots of adjustments. That's really comfortable. I think you should invest. Your back will thank you.

@stux Get a TENs unit, too for $32. Change your life. I wear one most of the day for my back now. They're an amazing technology for chronic pain.

@stux While you're sitting in an ergonomically correct chair, the top of your screen should be at eye level.

@stux Down the road if you wanna go full cyberpunk and spend a bit more you could always consider a VR headset with a program that gives you multiple virtual monitors 🥽

@stux well isn't that like exactly what you would want to use donations on? So I don't see any issue with that at all.

@stux Consider this another vote of support from one of your monthly donors to spend some of that money on the tools you need to take care of yourself!
