Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Johannes_G’s bare bones home office:

I chose this office because its minimalist style is extremely calming. There isn’t anything here to distract the owner while he works. In the notes about the image, Johannes_G says that he deliberately got rid of an external monitor and chose to only use the laptop screen to keep the setup uncluttered. I prefer to work with two monitors for improved productivity, but I’m happy to read that careful thought went into the selection process for each of the desk’s items. So often people put items and equipment on their work surfaces out of habit instead of with intentional action. Seeing this desk made me pause and look at my desk to see if anything was on it out of habit instead of need. Thank you, Johannes_G, for your addition to our Flickr pool.

Also, don’t forget that workspaces aren’t just desks. If you’re a cook, it’s a kitchen; if you’re a carpenter, it’s your workbench.
