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.
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.

This is actually very zen 👌
March 10, 2023 12:24 PM
I bet the rest of your home is beautifully decorated
March 03, 2023 05:59 AM
Love this topic. 😍
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.
March 03, 2023 06:38 AM
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.

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!
