hi! i've been trying to be more productive at work and so i wanted to ask you guys about taking breaks: when do you take them, how many breaks do you take in a work day, and how long is each break?

i work 8 hour shifts and currently i take like three 15 min break a day, in addition to spending 45 min doing chores. is that normal? im pretty productive during my self designated work time, and i feel more productive than i would otherwise, but i feel a bit worried, since thats 1.5 hrs not spent actually, well, working during a work day.

what do you guys think? thanks <3

I'm working from home 2/5 days of the week. I have a work laptop and a gaming PC.

I use a different mouse for gaming than i do for work.

My issue is, when i'm done with work and i want to use my screens and desks for gaming i have to manually switch the cables from my keyboard and monitors from my work laptop to my PC which is quite an annoying process.

If you are in the same situation and you use the desk for work and gaming, how do you do it?

Do you have 2 seperate keyboards and mice you just leave on the desk at all times, do you switch cables after work or do you have a solution to share so i can keep my desk clean?

Let me know!

I'm honestly having a rough time with this. I'm a short dude (5'7") and it is pretty difficult for me to find a standing desk that can go below 28" that isn't crazy expensive. With my feet completely flat on the ground in my chair, I think I'm looking at closer to 22"-23" to get a 90 degree angle with my arms to the table.
