🏃 Movement & Micro-Wellness
Working from home can be surprisingly sedentary. These tools help you inject actual life back into your limbs so you don't turn into a human-shaped puddle of jelly.
I pull this out during "listening" meetings. I’ve hit 15,000 steps while barely noticing I was exercising. It’s the ultimate WFH cheat code.
