I like if the setup allows me to easily step away from the desk and device for much needed short mental breaks :)

I also feel like I get far more productive later in the day than in the morning!

I think everything else is preference: comfortable chairs are awesome, some people prefer standing desks, others want to work out of their bed 😂maybe in the future I want easy access to water so I make sure to stay as hydrated as possible throughout the day
