Total lifehack, that's so 10x. How about getting an ergonomist to assess your desk? You can get an assessment for free from your employer. - Want to optimize meetings? Set an agenda. Make people optional if they're not required. Appoint a moderator that keeps the meeting on track. Write down the minutes of the meeting... If there's no agenda, no meeting. - Use 3 monitors? why not 5. Or 10. - Want to prototype an idea fast? Use paper. Use powerpoint. Use your goddamn imagination.
