Buy a used aeron chair, you won't regret it. Don't cheap out on something you'll be sitting on 8+ hours a day. Don't trust random Amazon brands.

like

My bet, which will likely mirror others, is on Herman Miller. There is a store in NYC which lets you try out each of the models and the Aeron was easily the best chair I’ve ever sat in. Friends and I probably spent 2 hours “resting” there before moving onto the next location.

Some things stay hyped for good reasons, and in this case that is the HM aeron. You can find them for sale on fb marketplace or furniture stores, i got mine used for $400.

It looks like the Aeron is the only way to go! I’m looking at eBay, Size B, for 642.55 after tax/shipping. Huge discount from buying new and its supposedly just an open box item. I found the stool version which sounds nice for when my desk is standing height, but I couldn’t find one with the dynamic posture support — only the lumbar bar

Home office revamp recommendations:
1. Autonomous standing desk: honestly the best desk ever! Order arrived in 3 days, even better quality than I imagined. I got the L shape one, fits 3 monitors and a laptop comfortably on one side. Now I stand while taking calls. I wish I had it last year during busy season. Oh I have a promo code if anyone is interested: R- 200les
2. Steelcase gesture office chair: same chair as PwC office.

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒
