Inspired by this post on Lifehacker, I decided to give my desk a bit of a declutter. Whislt I am somewhat limited in what I can afix to the walls (I rent my home) I do have the advantage of a good amount of space, and 2 nice desks. The desks don’t match, so they really only work apart, but it does give me space for what I need.
Most of my work is done on my macbook pro. Despite having a sweet 2 monitor set-up on my gaming PC, and my work laptop this is where I find myself most productive.
Previously I had pretty much everything I needed on my desk, and a lot of stuff I didn’t need. My in-box in particualr was forever in danger of being knocked to the floor and I was finding it all a bit to hard to concentrate on. This is what it was like prior to the changes:
I decided to move the laser printer (which is designed to do pretty much everything via the front - thank you HP!), the dock for the work laptop, the sub, the external HD and the USB hub to to the floor, freeing up a fair old bit of space. It also allowed me to tape the chargers for my BT earpiece and my 2 mobiles behind the macbook, so I can access them when needed.
This is my desktop now
Under the desk looks a lot better as well, although I do need to get these ables up off the ground. That box is a custom charging station my mate Paul made for me, and very nice it is too
I have some more images up on flickr, showing my sadly neglected windows machine, and my Fairy Dust. Oh yes.
This is still very much a work in progress however, so I expect more will be done soon.
