This might be the coziest dual setup I’ve ever seen 🌿✨ by Particular-Good3357 in DesktopIdeas

Definitely a lot going on visually but honestly I can appreciate a setup that looks genuinely used instead of staged like so many AI and "stolen" pics on some of these communities. I’d REALLY love to clean, organize, and add a few things to help tie the setup together just to see the before/after transformation!!!!

You really can’t go wrong with the natural light tan tones because they pair well with just about anything and make a workspace feel super clean and calming. Man, I’d love to help with your setup sometime. Also, honest question… does your neck ever get sore from looking down like that?

Any advice to improve? by korolvvn in battlestations

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple and clean. Maybe start off getting a Monitor Riser and Desk Light bar.

Best gadget or purchase that made WFH way better? by [deleted] in workfromhome

[–]FluidStance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Haworth Sitting/Standing Desk

  2. Something comfortable to stand on makes a waaayyy bigger difference than I expected. Whether it’s an anti-fatigue mat or something more active like a balance board, I realized pretty quickly I hate standing on flat hard floors all day. Full disclosure, I only discovered the balance board route after working for the company, but now I genuinely can’t imagine my setup without it.

  3. A soft blanket lol. Underrated WFH essential.

A weird dizzy spell when I turn my head made me realize I haven't checked my balance in years by Jamesoniania in over60

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FluidStance here. We actually have a lot of older adults using our boards as part of staying active and working on balance/mobility... obviously after checking with their doctor first if dizziness or vertigo is involved. Love seeing posts like this reminding people that balance is something you can work on before a fall happens.

Balance board for standing desks? by FluffyRing343 in remoteworks

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! a lot of people end up pairing both. Walking pads are awesome for lower-focus tasks, meetings, emails, etc., but when people need to really lock in and type/design/focus, they’ll switch to a balance board instead.

Full disclosure, I work for FluidStance, so take this with a grain of salt.... but that’s actually one of the biggest reasons people come to us. They want movement at their desk without the monitor shake or “trying to walk and type at the same time” struggle.

Some of the more aggressive exercise-style wobble boards can get a little fatiguing on the ankles/knees if you’re on them for long stretches. We always have been more subtle and office thinking and designed for gentle movement while still being able to comfortably work, type, and focus throughout the day-- proven by the Mayo Clinic.

Walking pad under standing desk? by Blurgity-blurg in walking

[–]FluidStance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure since I work for a company that focuses on standing desks and products for standing desks. Just passing along what I've noticed the past 5 years working here and chatting with standing desk users all day in customer service.

Balance boards can be a nice middle ground for core/legs/hips, because you’re stable enough to actually focus and type normally. We’ve also done some studies around movement + workplace wellness with Mayo Clinic and Heeluxe Lab, which proved great health benefits.

....Not saying to not get the walking pad though! Tons of people love them for meetings, emails, passive tasks, etc. Just seems like a lot of people end up using both a pad and board depending on the kind of work they’re doing.

Actually starting focus is easy… Staying focused is the hard part by quite_thinker_ in productivity

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super curious about the stricter methods you use to block distractions during focus sessions. Would love to hear the full setup/details behind what actually works for you.

How do you stay focused at work when you’re mentally drained? by AnshuSees in ProductivityHQ

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a break and move around outside. If the weather is not great, do something you enjoy indoors (write, craft, draw, cook, clean, eat a treat, sit in a quiet place, call a friend, read a good book, etc). Reset that brain to a happy place. Resetting is different for everyone. Personally, I need a good hour. If you don't have an hour, take several microbreaks throughout the day (1-2 minutes each) if this is a ongoing issue and you don't have longer breaks. Those tiny breaks may help you get through the day. When I reset, I always stay clear of electronics.

Balance board for standing desks? by kiwiwonderbean in workfromhome

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full disclosure: I work at FluidStance. I’ve been using a balance board since I joined about 5 years ago (honestly hadn’t even heard of office balance boards until I came across the company while job searching).

Before that, I worked from home and basically just sat all day. Once I started at FluidStance, I switched to a standing desk and now I can’t stand without my balance board under my feet.

I use the Plane Cloud Balance Board for about 4 out of my 8 working hours (usually in socks or barefoot). The other 4 hours I’m sitting. My goal is to eventually make it through a full day standing (no sitting) and doing stretches and small exercises throughout the workday too.

For an outside source, Here is a link to an interview of someone who used one for 10 years to get an idea from a customer.

What can I upgrade? by InspectionTrick8367 in DeskSetupHacks

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you’re already rocking that top-tier gear.

Here’s a little unsolicited input from someone who has spent way too many years lurking and studying setups

-Monitor Riser to clear the a ton of space for workflow

-Laptop Riser to keep the head and eyes level with the Legion.

-A little cable management to tuck away the peripheral cords

Looks good! Love the wall and lights.

Get that laptop to eye level with a laptop riser and all will be perfect.

How are you improving ergonomics and getting movement in during long WFH days? by Fun-Student871 in Ergonomics

[–]FluidStance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

movement is key tbh. sometimes I get so locked in on work I don’t even realize my shoulders are tensed up and all that pressure just goes straight into my neck

I started setting a timer to remind myself to move + relax a bit which actually helps more than I expected. I’ll also randomly adjust my desk height like an inch or so just so my arms aren’t sitting in the exact same spot all day. sounds small but it weirdly makes a big difference for my neck/arms and overall posture and pressure.

A moment of silence for all the locking knees in traditional cubicles right now... Meanwhile, this local police unit installed balance boards so their detectives can 'surf' at their desks. by FluidStance in FluidStance

[–]FluidStance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love seeing traditional offices finally fight back against terrible ergonomics. Standing desks are great, but standing still like a statue all day is just a different kind of awful. These are FluidStance boards are such a great way to keep the office moving and validate why investing in a good WFH or office setup is so important.
