Remote work and nomad life are often sold as “freedom.”
In practice, many of us quietly end up here:
- sitting 8–10 hours a day
- moving less than we did with a commute
- feeling more tired than we expected

2) insert stand / move triggers
3) create a simple standing setup at home
4) use café and travel time for micro-movement
5) review your body weekly and adjust

a global career and a body that still feels good 10 years from now.
