“Valentine’s Day has been horribly commercialised, and if you’re green of heart, you may feel inclined to ignore it altogether. But I always say, there’s no bad day to tell someone that you love and appreciate their presence in your life.”

“I get satisfaction of three kinds. One is creating something, one is being paid for it, and one is the feeling that I haven’t just been sitting on my ass all afternoon.”—William F. Buckley, Jr.

To get started, here’s an overview of how a standing desk can improve your life, plus some of the best DIY ideas out there.

I have collected some ideas, a few but quite not so common, that I hope they inspire you.
