I feel you on the winter thing. I added an electric heater to my office so I can keep the temperatures a bit higher than the rest of the house (mostly I do this for my fingers, honestly). And through the magic of LEDs I have a fairly ridiculous amount of light I can turn on. Makes winter more bearable when I can make it as bright as high noon in July.
I totally get wanting to go into the office. I would go in a few days a week if they hadn't put our new office 20 miles away. Not close to where anybody lives, but it's in the trendy part of downtown.
- grubbs 3y agoMy fingers get SO cold. Literally to the point I'm about to wear gloves. Every couple hours I'll thaw them out against the space heater.. Any other hacks for this are welcome. Exercises?
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoMaybe there is a cheaper alternative as effective and comfortable, but I can only vouch for these: https://thewritersglove.com/ https://thewritersglove.com/ When I got gloves too small their support was quick to help too. Navigating again to their site they now have some sort of LED heater?

- rootusrootus 3y agoMy only other method for dealing with it is alternate ways of getting warmer. When I don't want to turn the space heater on, sometimes I'll fill up a hot water bottle and put it under my feet. Warming the blood up there is reasonably effective at warming up my whole body and thus my fingers. Maybe a heated desk pad, or some other kind of keyboard heater?
