Got told my 'work from anywhere' setup was just a laptop on a bed | Digital Nomad Life

A friend visited my place in Medellin and said my posture looked painful. They were right. Bought a portable monitor stand for $80 and a real chair. How do you handle ergonomics without hauling a whole office?

Honestly, I used to just slouch on the couch until my back staged a revolt.

Get a laptop stand and a separate keyboard for any table.

Seriously, a whole chair and stand? I get the back pain thing, willow_lee made that sound pretty rough. But is it really that big of a deal for a few hours? My back only gets sore after like, a full day of gaming on the floor. Can't you just use a pillow and the kitchen table sometimes? Feels like we're overthinking this.
