The BIG WFH Office pictures!
Hey Simon Binder here's my WFH setup
I mostly work from home for about 2 years now, so I try to make the home office as nice as possible as this is where I spend most of my work time.
Simon Binder here's my office setup, right next to MStrant!
I have a standing desk, so when I really want to focus I put headphones and and go into standing mode for 25 minutes at a time. The right monitor is dedicated to showing the app built in this blog post, with some additions since then including a Pomodoro timer.

I've worked from home for the past 16 years, both self employed and as a Microsoft full time remote employee. I fully appreciate that not everyone can dedicate an entire room (or even an entire desk) to work, especially if they're not usually in a work from home role.
I use an L shaped desk, with my tech along one side and a nice clear working space on the other side. I do a lot of long format writing and reading, so I love my portrait monitor. It's also really important for ergonomics to get your laptop screen elevated if you are also using it as a monitor.
Not pictured is a good chair - mine's a mesh style similar to the Herman Miller but without the price tag. It took me a few tries to find one I liked that didn't wreck my back or my tailbone, after hating the "gamer style" padded chair I had.
- Cool! I really like that you are able to work together like that! How do you find the curved screen? I still prefer having multiple once, but friends say its the best investment they have made.
- I used to have dual screens, but found it to easy to multitask. Plus it meant my neck had to be slightly twisted to look at one of them for any period of time.
Having the single wide-screen helps me focus. I can still split-screen or go further (which I often do), but the single I found is just better for me.
