You spend more waking hours at your desk than anywhere else in your home. It deserves the same care as the sofa.

- **Light from the side.** A window to your left or right avoids glare on the screen and shadows on the page.
- **Screen at eye level.** A stack of books works as well as any stand.
- **One object you love.** A plant, a print, a good lamp. Just one.
- **Nothing else.** Every item on the desk asks for a little attention. Keep only what you use daily.

Give it a week. You may find that the hardest part of starting work was never the work itself.
