Finally Having A Proper Working Space

in OCD5 years ago (edited)

How does your working space look like? are you a minimalist or messy one? either one that's cool ! today I am sharing one of my working space and a bit of story behind it.

So, it has been 4 years since I study in this place. I have not even moved from my original place because the rent is cheap and the family is great. When I was first living here, the room was empty. I had to sleep on the floor on a thin mattress for sometime. There was not any table nor wardrobe. I was living in rather poor condition. But then, life takes turn and I worked for myself. I was slowly able to purchase bed, table, and other necessity appliances that seemingly mundane for others but it was a huge deal for me.

4 years later, I am able to finally buy a decent chair and computer table to work from. I saved up a while to buy this working space. I should have bought them earlier but since I could still visit the library, I was fine. Until coronavirus happened and I have no access to public library and study from home was enacted.

This is my current set up and I still need to arrange them since it only arrived today.

I plan on building a dekstop later on since I see myself settling down soon here. This is how it looks up close. Nothing fancy but it's enough to get me through my thesis days.

I am one that generally sits long in front of screen. Without a comfortable chair, I was working on the floor and spent more than 10 hours. Now with a proper table and chair, I think I can spend much more and more productive. I think I have made a good investment. Since it also makes my room much more cleaner than previous one. Not to mention now my back can thank me for taking care of it properly.

Now, I wonder how's your overall set up look like. Share yours in the comment section !

I agree to is so important to find the right kind of setup at home for work. Try to do serious work like a thesis is very challenging if you are not comfortable and have all your tools positioned the right way.

I recently saw a great video by one of my favourite YouTubers,Thomas Frank, that gives some great tips for a setup at home. I hope you find it useful.

Mostly a presentation table. -- "look at this here, do this next, remember this thing.

I want that table :D it's exactly how I want my studio room in the future would be haha as of now, I gotta keep dreaming first :) oh yeah, I would add 3D printer too lol

Do your research on that one - a friend of mine got a 3d printer, and ended up buying like 4 of them -- swapping them out, cause most none of his prints worked.

Small steps to great success! That's how I call it being able to get ourselves new things that complete our setup.
Here's mine - even though I plan on upgrading it more but it requires some patience until the pandemic is over :(
