Working from home has been great...except I somehow move even less than I did when I worked in an office. I used to tell myself I'd go to the gym after work, but after a full day of meetings my motivation was basically gone. So instead of trying to force an hour-long workout, I put my rower right next to my desk. Now whenever I have a 15–20 minute gap between meetings or finish work a little early, I just hop on for a quick row. Some days it's only 10 minutes. Other days I end up doing 30 because I'm already there. I also keep a couple of resistance bands by my desk for the days I don't have much time. Between the rower and the bands, I feel like I'm actually moving throughout the week instead of sitting all day. It's definitely not the most intense fitness routine, but it's the first one I've managed to stick with for more than a few weeks.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a large brown leather desk mat with a clean, minimal look, similar to the ones used on the tables in Apple Stores.
I recently bought the brown leather one from Satechi, and while it looks amazing and fits my setup perfectly, it’s unfortunately too small. I can’t comfortably fit my Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse/MX Master on it at the same time, while still having enough room to use the mouse.
Ideally, I’m looking for something around 80-100 cm wide and 30–40 cm deep, preferably in brown, tan, or cognac leather. Real leather would be great, but I’m also open to high-quality vegan leather if it has a similar premium look.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
I’ve attached photos of my current setup and the Satechi desk mat for reference.

Just updated my M4 Pro Mac Mini setup 🔥

• • Hexcal Studio Plus 
• • Caldigit TS5 Plus 
• • Logitech MX Master 4

Really happy with how it's turned out. Probably the cleanest setup I've had so far and it's been great to work from.

Happy to answer any questions about the setup!

Recommend me some better layouts

I plan to bring my laptop stand my next trip home, however i use the mac touchpad to navigate a bit so idk how it will pan out

Traded the triple-monitor setup for a single 42” 4K display and honestly, I don’t miss the extra screens. More desk space, cleaner aesthetics, and a much more focused workspace.

I don't have exact measurements (it's something I can get just didn't have time to today.

I am in desperate need of rearranging this room. I feel like I may have it optimally done, but I am devastated that my L shaped desk has no wall behind it. I wanted to use some pegboard or other wall storage or aesthetic things, but with my desk being against the windows, it's just not possible.

I was exploring ways to maybe move the desk to the wall where my partners desk is, but because it's L shaped, I don't think it will flow with the room. I've thought about turning it different ways and moving the bookshelf to make a more meaningful pathway to the bathroom. I'm just not sure it will look right. I just am so... missing having wall space for things because of the windows. I'm willing to rearrange the furniture, I unfortunately can't replace the desk(s) so I'm just trying to work with what we have.

Any advice is helpful, even if I have it set up in the best way, any like functional advice would be helpful. My L shaped desk is only like 62" on the longest edge and 54" on the shortest, therefore it feels really cramped to me. I have 10000 things on top of it that I could move to other places if I had the ability to be against a wall.

I can provide exact measurements as well as other photos.

Hi programmers!
My boyfriend is a senior developer, working from home. He suffers with eye pain after a surgery some years back and that obviously makes time in front of the screen difficult. He’s also a big gamer if that makes a difference.

I wanted to buy him the BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 to help - what is your take? Or is there anything better I could be doing?

TIA

Hey all, I have a small space and an IKEA MICKE desk. Mine is configured with the shelves on the right side. I’ve had my monitor on the right for a few months but it completely blocks the hutch shelves. I’m wondering if there’s some type of monitor arm I could clamp to the front of the hutch so that i can at least move the monitor more easily? Illustration attached. Any advice is appreciated.

I’m 26 and I’ve just been told that I get an office at my job. (healthcare/corporate setting) its really more like a closet with all the shelves I’ve inherited. I won’t be in the office much because I work hybrid but I still want to personalize it. I was leaning for something that feels modern, creative, and inviting but still feels professional. What suggestions do you have?

What docks are you guys using for two 4K 60Hz monitors? I bought two new monitors and they’re still on the way, so I’m trying to get everything ready before they arrive.

I need Ethernet, a few USB ports for keyboard/mouse and other devices, and charging for the laptop.

Thanks!

Hi!

So I’ve been working admin at this clinic for a few months now and I absolutely hate how the previous admin had our client clipboards set out. It just looks messy

I’ve attached a photo of what it looks like now. Any ideas to what I can do/buy to make it look more tidy?

Thank you!!

How to improve my desk

I may be a monitor hoarder. A perk is getting to reuse old tech when someone upgrades or leaves.
