Looking to make a left sidebar menu sticky

Hello,

If you take a look at my site:

You'll notice a menu on the left hand side - I need this to be a sticky menu and to follow you while you scroll down.

How do I do this?

Thanks for your time!!

Hey Brandon Brigham,

.simplify-disc-left-nav {
    margin-left: -15px;
    width: calc(100% + 15px);
    position: fixed;
}

I was actually wondering why you had not done that already!

.simplify-disc-left-nav {
    position: fixed;
}

Steven thanks! do you think using your solution will be better than the one above?

I don't think the width is necessary, and the margin doesn't need to move unless you don't like the original position. In that case, you can place it anywhere you like using left.
