# outdoor work setup

the problem of wanting to work outside — fresh air, sunlight, a change of scene — but running into practical blockers: screen glare, no stable surface, wifi range, short battery life, and physical discomfort from improvised setups. everyone has tried it and ended up back inside. the idea is to actually solve this properly: design or curate a setup that makes outdoor work feel as capable and comfortable as indoor work.

the core components: a monitor or laptop screen that is genuinely readable in direct sunlight (matte anti-glare or high-nit screens), a stable lightweight table and ergonomic chair that can move outside easily, a long-range wifi extender or portable hotspot, and either a large battery bank or a solar solution for power. the harder part is the organizational friction — making it easy to move the setup out and in without it feeling like a project. the ideal design is something that lives outside by default and gets brought in for bad weather, not the reverse.
