Working from home, from your bed: A bomb idea in theory, but a productivity killer in reality.

Think separation of church and state, but with home and work instead. A designated working space tells your body that it's time to work and keeps your bed as your designated sleeping space. If you can't figure out why you're dozing off during the day or thinking about work while trying to sleep... well, here's something to blame it on.

A standing desk is a clutch solution for the above, but can also improve posture and get blood flowing during an otherwise sedentary day (or week, or month, or however long this quarantine period lasts). FlexiSpot's standing desks are internet favorites, and this 35-inch one is $70 off at Amazon.

The U-shape of this FlexiSpot offers ample room to set up a monitor, 17-inch laptop, a keyboard and mouse, and more. Many people who aren't used to working from home don't just have a clutter-free desk available for all of these devices, which is probably why working from bed seems like the only option. Because it expands vertically within its own footprint, this FlexiSpot essentially adds an extra shelf to your space.

No one is saying you should stand idly for an entire work day, but switching every 30-ish minutes can alleviate pain, stiffness, and sometimes even heart problems that come with sedentary lifestyles. It also gives the chance to stretch. Fun!

Regularly $229.99 (and still full price on FlexiSpot's website), you can save $70 after checking the box for the extra $30 coupon and get your standing desk for $159.99 with free shipping.
