No pics, but since deciding to take my work as an artist seriously, I have two separate work areas set up in my home


My desk is where I have my paints, tools, some crafting materials, and whatever my current project is. Have a decent craft/cutting mat, and just a basic wooden chair, but I don’t need much to be happy and usually don’t spend more than a couple hours at a time sitting there

And then I have a sort of “couch desk” where I do my computer work, scripting, and video editing. It’s portable so I take it down into my much quieter basement for voiceover and sound design


The biggest thing that would help me is getting a camera stand with a smaller footprint, and just getting more organized. It’s a little messy right now and I need to get better at cleaning as I go. But so far it’s been working out for me so I’m happy with it

A comfortable chair won't fix lack of motivation for unsupervised work

Try to find another reason to be productive since the fear of a boss looking over your shoulder is gone. Maybe consider doing something else that you actually enjoy

Trade the carpet in for something hard.

^^ you see what I did there?

Serious, though, replace your carpet (if using spare bedroom) with wood or tile and you'll be more productive.

Steelcase chair
Height adjustable desk
32" 4k IPS screen
Filco mech keyboard
Kef LSX active speakers

Being able to actually use decent equipment rather than povery chit is one of the best things about WFH

I need my wide screen monitor for double screening, good chair and I might buy a standing desk (push the button to stand and work).

I do roughly 2 days wfh. Won’t be giving that up.

I've got some nicely finished concrete floors underneath there but it echoes too much on calls without a rug.

Tell my wife/kids that when I'm working from home to treat it like I'm at work. While I have the flexibility to come help with something sometimes, I can't just drop everything at a moments notice because me working from home feels like I'm just home to them.

Also i wake up 1 minute before my first meeting and do „lunch break“ blockers in outlook - i sleep for that hour hehe
This. I have my hour lunch break blocked out on my calendar so people don't try to set meetings during those times ever. I usually get something done during my lunch from home (run an errand, mow the lawn, lift etc) rather than when I'm in the office I just have to **** off for an hour.

3rd for monitor and chair upgrades.

32" ultrawide for dual pane tasks, Aeron chair or copy if you like the fit/feel, they come in a few different sizes.

Haha I only use my laptop as well. I love my standing desk - I have a nice chair but I stand most of the time. Honestly if I got a stipend, I would put it towards a nice full body massage chair. Costs ~5k for a nice one. Soon.jpg

Same. If I have to do it for more than 5mins I can feel the rage building as all the panes scrunch in on top of each other and text wraps endlessly. Even my 27" in the office feels cramped.

Keyboards are also fing horrible.

Love mine. Was very unsure when it arrived given the back isn't solid and articulates but in use it is a great design the way it moves with you. These boyos know what they are doing.
