Hot zone
Keyboard, pen, one notebook. Nothing that belongs to another project.
Workspace
Workspace setup that holds up to real days
A practical framework for desk height, screen position, lighting, and the invisible layer—cables and power.
Ergonomic stack (side view)
Start with the chair and height
Adjust seat height so thighs are level or slightly down, then set monitor height. If you use a laptop, elevate it and add an external keyboard—your neck will thank you within a week.
Light in layers
Ambient room light plus a task lamp reduces glare. Position the lamp so it does not compete with your screen.
Zones on the desk
Think in arcs: primary tools within easy reach, secondary items one motion away, reference materials off-desk.
Power strip discipline
One hidden strip, short cables, labels at the plug—troubleshooting becomes fast.
Vertical storage
Monitor arms and small shelves reclaim depth when the desk is shallow.
