It is my first work from home setup. I like to add and remove things often. I have removed every unnecessary object from my desk and left with a bare minimum to do the work. And I love my massive desk (180 x 90cm) even though I don\u2019t have much stuff on the desk. When I do research, I have a ton of books and magazines on my desk. It\u2019s nice to have plenty of space so I can keep every magazine open.<\/p>\n

Elgato Key Light Air<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($110)<\/strong>
\nI thought it is ok to use a table lamp (or nothing) for Zoom and Skype calls, but Key Light Air has been instrumental. Lights are compact and easy to pack away if I don\u2019t need them. I also like that I can easily adjust the height, brightness, and change color range. And they keep cool for a very long time, allowing me to work without breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n

Casio TQ-140-1EF Wake Up Timer Alarm Clock<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($14)<\/strong>
\nI bought this Casio clock as the second alarm if my phone wouldn\u2019t wake me up on time. I keep it on my desk. When the alarm goes off, I must get out of the bed and walk to the other room to turn it off. And during the day it is helpful because I don\u2019t have to reach for my phone to see the time. It is super loud and will wake me (and neighbors) up within seconds. It has a silent mechanism. I am not a big fan of the sound tik, tak, tik, tak \u2026 Fun Fact! My phone has never failed me.<\/p>\n

Oak Monitor Stand<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(DIY)<\/strong>
\nI spent far too much time looking at monitor stands. It\u2019s hard to get a beautiful monitor stand, and the biggest issue for me is that they are too low. I am pretty tall, and I noticed that my posture wasn\u2019t great because I have to look down. Inspiration came from Jeff Sheldon (google: Jeff Sheldon monitor stand), and Dad made it for me. It is a combination of Ikea legs, a slab of oak, and matte varnish.<\/p>\n

Hightide Marbled Desk Tray<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($18)<\/strong>
\nThere is a specific place on my desk for everything. Always! I keep all small things like pens, scissors, sharpies, and post-it notes in this tray. It is convenient because it has the right size, and it lets me organize everything nicely. And Hightide is a Japanese company. That\u2019s a bonus.<\/p>\n
