Noise cancelling Headphones, to drown out the clacking of the newtons cradle.

Yes!

I have zero of those items. For me:

  • massive bank of computer monitors, adjustable
  • desk surface
  • noise canceling headphones
  • videoconferencing-friendly backdrop
  • proper adjustable office chair
  • corded everything
  • a few awards and books
  • a cupholder/trivet

Haha why corded

It helps define the space; the implements are tied to the zone, meaning that’s the defined work area. Also makes it harder to just clear off the surface to use it for something else.

I just got done eliminating all unnecessary cords and severly restricting existing ones with ties and elastics. I just hate cords so much but they are sometimes necessary evil so I get them out of my face

Plus you never run out of battery at the worst possible time.

. . . Or find that your keyboard has gone wandering unexpectedly.

  • a source of instrumental music

  • a flat clean surface

  • a computer with both a physical keyboard and Internet connection

  • a hydrating beverage

  • no other noises

  • no visual distractions or movement

  • sunlight

  • good pens

  • a blank notepad

  • planning notebook / bullet journal

No offense OP but your ideal work environment sounds hellish to me.

Haha id keep things stowed away unless i needed them. Im all about minimalism when it comes to surfaces. Need not, take up space and in my face not

Sunlight is nice one but id also like good drapes in case im feeling dark that day
