-air conditioner unless your dry space is already under 70f
-comfortable chair and table at ergonomic height.

-coconut oil works really well for keeping scissors lubricated and also removing resin off your hands. My technique is without wetting hands first, put 1-2 teaspoons (more if needed) coco oil into a DRY palm and massage vigorously till resin dissolves. Next, add a squirt of dish soap or Dr. Bronners and rub in vigorously to emulsify the oil/resin on your hands. Lastly, rinse off with water. Very important to not use any water until the last step. Your hands will be clean, no smell, and feel nice and moisturized. Its superior to rubbing alcohol which just spreads stickiness all over your hands.
 
@waterproof808 that is the best washing tip ive seen. Straight works!

After trimming for 3 hours last night...need to add to the list

Dont know how old you are, but a pair of reading glasses will help reduce eye strain from focusing on your hands for hours on end. Your eye muscles work hard to focus up close, so its a good idea to let them rest every now and then by looking off into the distance for a few minutes. I only know this because I've worked in eye care the last 10 years.
