Your Work From Home Fix

 
 

You just poured your morning cup of coffee, and are about to sit down at your COVID created home office. It's comfy, but maybe too comfy.

You've got the fancy motorized standing desk, dual monitor, and notifications on your apple watch to breathe and stand every 30 minutes.

But, honesty time, you get locked in on a project and all of a sudden you're snoozing those alerts and sitting for hours hunched over staring at your computer screen.

Harsh reality, but it's reality!  

It's actually incredible how many people come into Ripple looking like this
