Supplies

Must have - desk, keyboard, mouse , Screen, zip ties, cable sleeve, velcro strip/ screws.

Desk Setup

Place your desk in a desired location, preferably next to a window (for getting light and fresh air during the day).

*Note there shouldn't be any direct light on the desk, as it can cause eyestrain.

**The desk should not have any drawers, and should be at a comfortable height and size for you.

Cable Managment

Using zip ties, and cable sleeves, wrap your cables together and try to hide them as much as possible.

Using screws/ velcro strip, attach your outlet power strip to the bottom of your desk.
