A few years ago I redid my attic space with 2 large windows and all-white walls to form a home office with a double desk, a sofa and a few of my guitars.

Pre-covid I had a 28" 4K monitor on each of the 2 desks and I connected my laptop to it. In the first lockdown I ordered a beefy desktop machine and combined both monitors on the same desk. I also bought a mechanical keyboard, a conference room mic, external webcam and new noice cancelling headphones soon after.

Every 2-3 months I switch the whole setup to the other desk, just to have a change of scenery. After this switch I "feel" more productive for a few days for some reason.

The office is 2 floors up and I did not put a coffee machine or fridge in there so I can at least get some of my daily steps on the stairs for coffee/food/toilet runs.
