No two days were the same, and I slowly realized it was terrible for my back and my posture.

Some days, I wrote from a sofa other days, I sat in a rocking chair on the front porch. I mainly stuck with my Smart Home method since I've been working from my own home. I filed stories from upright dining room chairs, cushioned sofas and butt-numbing patio furniture. Before COVID-19, I spent most of my work hours at the CNET Smart Home, an actual house where we test security cameras, smart speakers and other gadgets.

For someone who sits the majority of the workday, I've never given office chairs much thought.
