I agree, seems like it would be very distracting to have something, doesn't matter what, constantly scrolling/updating on a non-primary display. I purposely put weather, stocks, news, social, etc. out of the way so I can focus on work. On Mac this is just the side-bar thingy with widgets for those things. My todo lists are always pen/paper because digital ones do not work for me. I get that there are people that use digital task lists and work well with them. I like having a desktop I can write on or not worry about spilling drinks on too. I just got a sit/stand desk and have been watching various youtube videos on desk accessories and there is a whole category of what I would call desk porn - amazing looking, beautiful setups, tidy wires, special lighting, etc. that are just impractical from a daily need to do work perspective. They seem staged for the sole purpose of taking fancy pictures of them. This desk looks geared for people that want to mimic those desk setups. I'll stick to my post-it notes here and there, notebooks, real books, toys, etc. littered across my desk. |

Yeah, exactly. And well said. It's like, I'll look at such products and think "wow!", but simultaneously I'm thinking "this is the exact opposite of the type of setup that someone who is serious about focusing on their work would want."
