So, a little while since my first blog post. I started with the best of intentions- right before school holidays and now I have a little one demanding attention ;)
Which brings me to a point many find rather amusing- I work from home, on my hand-crafted treadmill desk... Yes, that's right, a treadmill desk. I am in fact walking right now as I type!
Writing books is more a computer job these days than anything else and while I adore making the books I found the sedentary nature of the work not to my taste. So I drew up some plans, went to the hardware store and built myself a desk to go over a treadmill. I plan to add designs along the line with my wood burning tool- because I firmly believe that everything in life can have beauty...
Well that's a little insight into how our Enlighten Press books are made and why our approach is unique!
The idea of working on a treadmill desk raises intriguing questions about productivity and health. While it may seem unconventional, integrating movement into work could reshape our understanding of workspace design. The Pokies hold potential for enhancing focus, but one must consider whether physical activity truly translates to improved cognitive function or creativity in the long run.
