Getting a standing desk.
Should I get a backless stool or a real chair for when I sit? I've never had a backless stool, so worried that I'll have nothing to lean against. Money & space only allow for one or the other, so please help me decide.
I do need to work on better posture either way and I'm hoping standing during 6 hours of meetings will fix that. I do tend to sit when I'm in the flow and cranking out deliverables tho. Leaning slightly towards chair. But the stool is so cute! Thoughts?

You should also get a standing mat. It makes a world of difference.

What standing desk are you getting?

Autonomous.ai's standing desk. Just ordered.

A real chair

Chair for sure, your back needs support!

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.
