Consumerism

This matters a lot for flow, and for finding programming fun. Here are my favorite bits of ergonomics:

• A gas monitor arm for getting the right monitor position
  
• A kinesis 360 keyboard
  
• A herman-miller embody
  

These can be aligned so that my whole body feels at ease when I’m working, and it helps me stay in the zone for longer periods of time.

And obviously emacs.

• A good bed – use the money back return offers to iterate!
  
• A weighted blanket
  
• A good air filter
  
• (The right dose of) melatonin sometimes
  
• The right mindset: framing it as trying to rest rather than fall asleep has helped me, as described here.
  

These two things help me stay hydrated and eating well:

• A nutribullet Blender
  
• A zojirushi hot water dispenser
  

I haven’t figured out an exercise I enjoy in a way I can do consistently. Maybe dancing?
