WFH The Healthy Way! ($787 Value)

We're giving away an awesome combo - a Topo Mat + a YEAR supply of New Standard Supplements Whole Protein.

Working from home definitely shortens your commute, but it might not always make you healthier.

To help you get the most out of your standing desk, and improve your joints, skin, hair, nails (and more) while you work, we're pairing two fantastic products in an epic giveaway.

The Topo Mat has been The Wirecutter's Top Pick for Standing Desk Mats since 2016. It maintains absolutely stellar reviews on Amazon, and is now improving the standing of over 200,000 standers!

Whole Protein is a new product from upstart New Standard. After realizing that most humans don't get enough of their protein from collagen (it's really seriously good for you), New Standard made one great-tasting, easy-blending powder that combines both collagen and whey, all from 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised cows.

Simply head here to join the contest. If you win, you can be standing on your Topo Mat while you enjoy some Whole Protein every morning for the next year!

Studies show that you eat more when you use a bigger plate and less when you use a smaller plate.

Use that to your advantage!

Serve on big plates after a workout, when those nutrients will go towards recovery. Use the small plates for other meals, or when you're eating something less healthy.

SITTING VS. MOVING. Which brain 🧠 would you rather work with?⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Dr. Chuck Hillman and his team studied the difference in cognitive ability after sitting vs. after walking.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Walking indicated an improvement in response accuracy, decision making, and better academic performance. ✅⠀⠀
⠀⠀
These results indicate that moderately intense exercise may improve cognitive control of attention.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We love this study to provide motivation to people to move before, during, between, and after work time.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We hear friends that eat lunch at their desk in order to "save time."⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The fact is that you could actually be losing time at full efficiency if you don't move during the day.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Move Early, Move Often.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⠀⠀

How many hours a day do you sit?

8 hours a day at your desk? 2 hours in your car? How many hours do you spend sitting watching TV?

Sitting is bad because it isn’t walking.

Your heart pumps blood around your body.

When you aren’t laying down, gravity helps your heart by pushing blood to your feet.

When you walk, calf contractions on each step force blood back up to your heart.

The problem with sitting (and standing still) is that your calves hardly ever contract, so you end up with blood pooling in your lower legs and feet.

Post production hours can be long🎥📸⏱ ⁠
⁠
And if you’re not careful, you could end up standing in one position for a long period of time, feeling fatigued and tired 😴 ⁠
⁠
That’s why filmmakers and photographers come to us to integrate movement while working. Our friend Anthony shows us his sick set up 🤙🤙 ⁠
⁠
“Without this mat, [I usually stand] anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour back and forth. The very first time I used this mat, I stood for 4 and a half hours straight!! No joke!”⁠

Thinking about working remote? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
Remote Working can be the absolute best set up, but it can also be the worst if it's not right for you. Having worked remotely for 2+ years, we have a few tips to find out if it's right for you.

1. Are you self-motivated? No boss is watching over your shoulder so with great independence comes great responsibility. Self-motivation is the number one quality to be successful with a remote job. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
2. How much social interaction do you need? Most people can't handle being in their own bubble all day. Social interaction is totally available working remotely but it's not necessary - so you have to go out and seek it. Go exercise with friends, go to conferences or meetups in your industry. You can also consider a co-working space if you want even more interaction!

3. Find the RIGHT job. This one's super important. You need a ton of self discipline in working remotely, so it's important to find a job that inspires you and that you actually WANT to do.

4. Have realistic expectations. You'll likely end up working from 9-5, so don't go remote for less hours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
We LOVE remote working and couldn't imagine working in a traditional office setting anymore but it's not for everyone! ⠀

Do you work remote? What tips do you have? SPILL!

Working from home is the best!! Except when..
⠀
You get distracted. ⠀
⠀
You watch tv. 📺⠀
⠀
And especially when you *try* to do work in your bed. ⠀
⠀
Working from your bed does not do you any favors - in terms of productivity AND mental sanity. ⠀
⠀
If you're victim to it, it's important to understand WHY it's not good. ⠀
⠀
⚡️It doesn't allow for movement, in fact, it promotes zero movement. Movement = Energy and Energy = Productivity. Without movement, it's difficult to maintain productivity.⠀
⠀
⚡️Your posture suffers. ⠀
⠀
⚡️It blurs the lines of what a bed should be for - it should be for sleeping and relaxation but you're using it to create energy (be productive). 😴⠀
⠀
⚡️The mental association of energy will be hard to forget when you're trying to relax and go to sleep.⠀
⠀
⚡️If you're working in bed late, blue light can decrease your quality of deep sleep and REM sleep. And you need that to create good work tomorrow.🔋
⠀
INSTEAD of working in bed, create a separate space for productivity. When you step into that space, it should be for work and work alone. Kick it into drive and GOOO! 🚙💨
