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.
