I am one of those unlucky people who work from a home office. Most times I do not mind this as having the ability to control my environment makes me much more productive than being in an office. On most fronts, I like how things are. My office is in a loft in my house. Once I am up in the office, I am isolated from the rest of the house. I do not hear the doorbell, the house phone, or any other distraction. I’ve got all my tech books up there and all the right office equipment so things are pretty much how I want them. Pretty much.
The one area I am not satisfied is in my computer management. As you can see in the photo below, I have 2 desktops and 2 laptops managed through 3 monitors, 3 mice and 3 keyboards. What I don’t have is enough desk space and I feel a little cramped. Before you ask, yes, I need all of those computers. I don’t, however think that the keyboards, mice and monitors are optimally set up and I do think there is room for improvement.

Since most of my readers are smarter than I, I’d like to ask how you have your office set up. Do you think it is configured for maximum productivity? Why or why not?
Feel free to email me your picture of your office setup. I’ll post them here in this email along with your name.
