Trying to get used to having a walking pad under my standing desk. I feel like I can't focus on walking or working. What am I doing wrong? Also, what do you do with the walking pad when you’re not using it? I don’t want it underfoot all the time!

Lean it against a wall? Also, about not being able to focus on either, it'll take some time. I had the same issue before but soon it'll become second nature to walk and focus on work at the same time.

You probably aren't doing anything wrong, it's just awkward at first. You can tinker with the speed and incline to see what works best for you, but really you just need to do it consistently for a while before it'll start to feel natural. As far as storage goes, I just put mine in the closet when I'm not using it. It's relatively small and easy enough to tuck up against the wall.

Tried and failed at a working and walking baddie. I set mine up in the living room now and watch tv while using it. I put mine under the couch when I’m not using it. Maybe one day I'll be coordinated enough to walk and work. I was worried I was going to hurt myself though!

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.

What monitors would you recommend for home office? I am about to buy one myself. I work in FDD. Do you guys recommend the ultra wide? Curve screen? freesync?And what definition is good enough ? I really do love Apple Retina display but the price.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
