Hey everyone!
A photo can be worth a thousand words, so I’m curious to see what your workstations look like! As I mentioned in another post I just need may laptop, so here are two a few pics of my workstation in the past few months.
What does yours look like?
February 20, 2023 11:48 AM
ohh, so cool to see you take your work on the go @Gabriele! Looks like a tasty sandwich to enjoy.
I personally am not as efficient working outside, though I do like the option to sometimes go to a WeWork space when I'm feeling a little on the lonely side. Like I said in another post, I only recently started as a contractor, so it's been interesting trying to adapt.
Right now, this is the set up I have at my workstation, but I loved hearing how others shared their workstation requirements in this post:

Not my best cabling work though, I'll have to admit 😅 maybe when it's warmer I'll venture out into the wild!

This is so cool! i love your plants
March 03, 2023 05:47 AM
OMG! This is stunning. So much light. I absolutely love it.
February 21, 2023 01:55 AM
Cable management is probably one of the main reasons I try to only rely on my laptop 😁

I share my workspace with my partner but I feel like I've eaten up more than half of the little bedroom we converted into an office. The space is kinda my be all end all for a lot of my hobbies as well as my work.
I try to keep my space functional so I have a peg board with my tools, at arms reach. I also have a film scanner for a lot of my analog photography. I keep photos of my friends and loved ones on the wall to to have inspiration in what I do.
Across my desk is another peg board for my bags, a chalkboard for my reminders and deliverables, and my 3d printing set up. I combine my Film photography and 3d printing as a lot of parts for older cameras aren't available anymore so I can design and print the parts myself. I also keep my cameras in the drawers under the printer.
It's definitely not the neatest setup but I love it regardless. 🙂

This is awesome, @daryldy !
February 22, 2023 07:47 AM
It's not very glamorous at the moment, but I'm still setting everything up.
Also, sometimes I work from a local cafe because I often find small distractions somehow productive, but I don't have pics for such a portable workstation at the moment 😁
February 23, 2023 07:57 AM
definitely agree that spending time working at cafes can actually be productive – it feels like a mood booster! I sometimes play a little stupid game with myself where I'll say, if I finish xyz thing, I'll go get myself a small treat. This worked almost too well at a Starbucks last week 😂
The home workstation is coming along, and a nice comfy chair goes SUCH a long way!
March 07, 2023 06:31 AM
Yeah, it definitely is a mood booster. I actually find myself less distracted somehow, even if it was a little noisy. Working from home can get boring sometimes.
February 23, 2023 11:55 AM
You have a great chair which is like 50% of the work set up 😄
March 07, 2023 06:32 AM
Best investment I've ever made to be honest 😀
February 22, 2023 06:47 PM
I can't work long at cafes because I get anxious I'm not spending enough. Hotel bars are different though hah. Home setup is mostly just trying to elevate the screen and various attempts at ergonomic computer paraphernalia. just a laptop when traveling
home setup (pardon the dust)
February 23, 2023 08:15 AM
Not a bad on-the-go workstation view @robin! Also, noticed what looks like a small timer on your desk...do you use a pomodoro method for focus? How do you like it, if so?
February 26, 2023 05:17 PM
I used to do it a lot. I rarely use it now. I usually do okay without it but yknow how there's just that task you procrastinate on doing? Still helps for those cases.

Today i am pretending to be 10 years old again and working from the floor 😄

This is actually very zen 👌
March 10, 2023 12:24 PM
I bet the rest of your home is beautifully decorated

Love this topic. 😍My home office

Here are a few pics of my workspaces. My home office is all cute and pink 😄 and the rest of the pics are from workations.

I see a water theme going on @StefanaZ!
March 03, 2023 06:48 AM
It might have to do with horoscope, I'm a water sign 😂
March 08, 2023 06:42 AM
I’m working from a workspace today and think I should do it more often. 😊
March 09, 2023 03:30 AM
Nice!! It was a game-changer for me. I used to hate having to go to the office. Now that it’s an option I can choose according to my preference, I actually enjoy it again.
March 08, 2023 07:51 PM
My most comfortable spot for work and focus time. Not the best, but comfy enough to focus and deliver my work.
March 08, 2023 09:38 PM
Love the ultrawide monitor @hendryzheng . What model is that?
March 09, 2023 08:27 AM
I've been considering a larger monitor but wasn't sure if it would feel like overkill. It looks great for you though! I might look into it again. I love how much light and awake your space looks, Hendry!
March 10, 2023 03:47 AM
Like the post; happy to share! 🙂
March 10, 2023 05:34 AM
That's a slick setup. Nice!
March 13, 2023 06:35 AM
love this – thanks so much for sharing your workstation @agileexpat! How do you like that webcam light? Seems like a great thing to have if you're on a lot of video calls. I always end up looking like I haven't gotten enough sleep 😅
March 13, 2023 07:11 AM
Thanks, @CassyL! 🙂 That light is excellent - you can adapt the brightness and warmth using the Logitech software. Though, I must say I sometimes feel semi-blinded after having it shine directly into my face over a longer time.

Wow what a set up @Meedo! Are all of your screens connected/compatible with each other? I used to only work with just my laptop, but once I got a second monitor, it felt like I was so much more productive (especially to keep email and Slack in one monitor space). I haven't figured out a monitor solution for when I'm on the go/at a cafe though.
Thanks so much for sharing!

And I was wondering where did I see the Moro and Kobayt El shay before, till I saw that you are in Egypt 🤣
Nice set bro 👍

March 13, 2023 06:42 AM
you have such an organized and calm workstation @sarpdoruk! Thanks so much for sharing it! I should consider a controller dock and charging for tablets. I love how clean and tidy everything is, and the little light behind the monitor adds such a lovely warmth!
March 13, 2023 06:54 AM
Thank you for the kind words @CassyL. It's just I can't stand having cables on my desk 😬

*looks under my desk to see the jumbled nest of cables* 😅 I'm taking this as a sign I need to reorganize and tidy a bit haha

wow what a view @riza! I sure wouldn't mind a warm beachy workstation situation. It's snowing and strong wind warnings for me 😂
March 15, 2023 09:42 PM
hehe! this is a cool beach resort view from UAE!
March 30, 2023 06:22 AM
Nice to find a fellow deeler from the UAE! We should connect!

@riza, wow!!!

So cool @ApeRunner! Looks like a very musical setup, with the mixer, keyboard, amp etc. Are the musical components part of your day job, or is this a side hustle/hobby? Thanks so much for sharing your workstation space with us, and welcome to the Deel community 🎊
March 17, 2023 01:01 PM
Music is my hobby. But also my emotional catalyst.
March 28, 2023 07:53 AM
Been chained to this for too long...
March 28, 2023 08:11 AM
Thanks for sharing @Ram! The little Marshall amp is so cute, and we love a nice mechanical keyboard 😍 The 3 monitor setup is making me think I need to step up my game. Do you have a way to organize your windows across all three screens?
March 28, 2023 08:17 AM
Thanks Cassy!
