The other day I totally rearranged everything in my living room because I realized the set-up I had made for über-awkward workflow. It was totally drab, man! I had the computer in the corner and, to use it, you'd sit with the front door, the windows and the rest of the room behind you. And since it was the corner, you'd be able to see like nothing in your peripheral vision except parts of the wall. It felt super cramped and super claustrophobic and I had trouble concentrating after a while. Also, the sofa would be across the room with the windows behind it and if it was ever hot and we opened the windows and watched a movie, the noise from outside would drown out the movie and it'd be hella annoying!
So I made it into this: ![]() (Excuse my sparsely decorated apartment! We are only just starting to add decorations!) The desk was now against the window and I could easily see most of the room from this angle, including the front door (which is super important) and suddenly my workstation felt way more open and welcoming and watching movies or playing video games or just working felt simply awesome. And that was cool until I changed my desktop to a picture of city lights until I realized that the picture was too dynamic and created a lot of energy and I'd get restless so I swapped it out for a dark blue picture of mountains and also I had to be careful about the windows being open because the wind outside is pretty stimulating to but anyway it got me thinking about what makes a workstation super efficient and also what sort of configurations other people might enjoy. So what does your desk look like? What do you like about it? Do you find yourself getting restless after using it for too long? Do you have a consistent for-sure arrangement or do you feel the need to change it constantly so it doesn't bore you?
