Figuring out the right lot size without losing your mind

I've been messing around with trading lately and one thing that's been driving me nuts is figuring out the right lot size. Here's what I've been doing: first, I check my account balance and decide how much I'm willing to risk per trade (usually around 1-2%). Then I look at my stop-loss distance in pips, and use a quick calculator online to get the lot size. It's working okay-ish, but feels kinda slow and clunky. Wondering if there's a simpler or faster way you guys handle this stuff?

Natural light's great, but honestly, privacy's never been a big issue for me. Decent blinds or sheer curtains usually do the trick. I'd rather have a bit more yard space for gardening or grilling than worry too much about sunlight angles...
