blink polyfill posted:- Get as much natural light into the space. I also have two lamps with very warm white bulbs, it helps a lot. for that ive been using some smart bulbs so I can boost sunlight colored light in the room on overcast days. it also sets a tone where, if its bright white light its work, and if its incandescent lights is not since my home desk is also a computer games desk also doesnt hurt to invest in a selfie light for calls
