Summary

Where in your life are you missing simple solutions to problems? The truth of the matter is there are frequently answers in front of our face that are so incredibly obvious we somehow remain oblivious. For me it involved an orange office chair, but for you it might not be so simple. After dealing with this shoddy office chair for over a year, I knew a change needed to be made. The problem is, I didn’t really want to go shop for a chair. My wife made a suggestion to use the office chair from our house, but I had created such a story surrounding the chair I couldn’t see the obvious answer. Listen to hear the resolution of my problem and how you can use shed yourself of your stories to find the obvious answer.

But I sit in this 16 by 16, maybe it's 14 by 14, square box that we created inside of an old industrial warehouse. This room is fairly soundproof. Has a drop ceiling.

We tried to spruce it up by putting some nice blue and black sound deadening panels on the wall that are only for appearance.

Functionality was not required because the

walls are thick and have sound-detening material built into them. Eventually, we

found some furniture for this room.

We've got this atrocious green velvet couch

that I got from Facebook Marketplace

that I admittedly when we ordered it, I thought it was blue because our colors are kind of blue and black.

When it showed up when we unpackaged it it was not blue it was green.

But at that point we'd already assembled some furniture and I certainly was not going to return
