WFH is wonderful because you can go from sitting in lotus to standing with a gentle sway to lying down to barefoot yoga all without raising any eyebrows. Eg. I love lying on my belly with a pillow propping up my chest and my laptop in front of me. No way to reasonably do that at 99% of offices.

I used to do that quite a bit, but I developed thoracic outlet syndrome (nerve compression) and some other odd shoulder problems.
now I have a gantry with a monitor that slides over my bed and can lie on my back with a kinesis keyboard at lap level and go for hours without any discomfort.
Can you share more about this setup? I’d like to build something similar.
I used some pieces of 1-1/4 inch square steel tube with 1/8" wall to make some adjustable 90 degree clamps that grab 1" tube. then i made a custom clamp with a 100mm vesa plate attached. and 4 short pieces of tube with wheels attached.
then just cut 1" tube to approximate size, assemble, and adjust. it rolls back and forth along both sides of the bed. I have it set about 3 feet above me, and I added a little shelf to hold a laptop and other crap, and wire tied a power strip to the side. bluetooth trackball and kinesis.
its a bit odd, but its really nice to be able to work in a neutral and relaxed position. I usually only do lying work, sitting work, or standing work for about an hour at a time.
That's great! But I never understood how people can be productive on a laptop. I feel like having such a small screen reduces your productivity drastically. I would be very unproductive on a laptop.
