Actually, that is pretty funny. My desktop is on my desk cause I am kind of lazy, and I hate having to reach down to plug in USB devices or change up my headphones.

That picture doesn’t do it much justice, but my desk is actually a pretty decent size. Probably 6 feet wide by 4 feet deep. It is just kind of cluttered at the moment, but I usually have lots of room for books and note pads and things…

Peace,

I notice in your picture that your desktop is on your table. Wouldn’t it be wiser to keep the cabinet somewhere else so taht you’ve got that extra room available to keep books, papers, etc., or in general, just to have some more elbow room? I believe that extra room may work wonders for ya’.

Not to be imposing,
But would like to return some of that help ya’ giving me,
God Bless,

shree

Yeah, I agree. I used to be the opposite way, constantly thinking I’d get more done if I just sat there and kept going, even when I wanted to do anything but what I was doing…

Now, when I need a break I just do it and when I come back to it later, my mind is fresh, my eyes are fresh, and the projects get done that much easier…

Thanks for the mention, I appreciate it! I am with you on moving on to another project when you hit a road block. Often when I am working on a design, and I am out of ideas, I just quit for a while and do something else and go back to it 15 minutes later or so. Staring at it doesn’t do me much good.

Thanks for the link.

If you need a breather, just do it! - This is something I do a lot. Whether its going down the gym, playing a game or even just getting away from the laptop for 10 minutes, spending some time not thinking about something can be really beneficial
