Somewhat. There are certain fragrances which can keep you more alert.

Most of it is aesthetics. Some are gimmicks.

I honestly prefer fresh air in this season.

Keep these away from your laptops and electronics.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

A little late here, but any suggestions/recommendations or watch outs for an automatic standing desk preferably with charging attachments? Looking to invest in a decent one around $2-300 !
