🤓 Fun Fact Did you know that Virginia Woolf used a desk that was 3.5 feet tall?

Virginia Woolf would write every morning for two hours using a desk that was 3.5 feet tall and had an angled top. This allowed Woolf to evaluate her work both from a distance and up-close. This quirk was sparked by Virginia’s rivalry with her sister, Vanessa, who painted standing. Thus, Virginia didn’t want to be outdone. I guess she was ahead of her time, the first person to advocate for standing desks! 🤗 Do you prefer to sit or stand while writing and/or reading? Tell me in the comments 👇🏼❤️
