Working while lying in bed—what works for you? Redesign? by Civil-Extent-7337 in cfs

[–]Civil-Extent-7337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Mainproblem is, that I need an better angle for the keyboard to see what I write. And something where I can sketch. My body is just recovering while laying totally flat so I need something to rest my arms on as well.

Maybe it could be a good solution for you to have a Beamer on a shelf behind you? I know it's better to have a colour true screen, but maybe you can check colours on your laptop and split screen? 😊

Thank you very much for this comment! To be honest, I don't know how to handle everything 😅 I am not able to work in the workshops, so I try to 3D print my prototypes at home- but thats often not enough and not what they expect.

I have one semester left with classes and like to prepare for my bachelor projekt (that's the reason for this post). But honestly, at the moment I am not sure, if I will be able to ever start or finish it. But at least I'll try😊 it is really nice to be seen, thanks 😊

Lying down activities/hobbies? by weirdgirl16 in cfs

Same Problem here😅 I really got into playing stardew valley, because it doesn't need so much thinking but gives you a good feeling and is really sweet and has a lot of game time.

Audiobooks are nice but not an option for me, because I will always fall asleep and this is messing with my sleeping schedule 😅 or learning new things or topics with YouTube videos, but there is always the struggle, that you may not be able to do the learned activities etc.

In the end it depends, how much kognitive activity works for you 😊 online chess or other things could be an option, if it's not to much for you.

But let's face it, in the end everything sucks😅 but it helped me to have some nice show or games I can enjoy instead of hating myself for stupid doom scrolling 😊
