I used to have a more office-y office in our house, but then we had a kid, so now that\u2019s my wife\u2019s office \u2014\u00a0I got shunted to the basement because I don\u2019t mind how cold it is down here all the time.

I have deep regrets about only buying a 42-inch TV for this space because, with a little work and a much larger screen, this could be a pretty great place to hang and watch movies. But even now, it suits me pretty well, especially when it\u2019s nice out and I can keep the sliding doors open all day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The main downside of this setup is that all that stuff is also my background on video calls and when we record podcasts. So, I\u2019m forever torn between wanting it to feel comfortable and fun and needing it to look at least a teensy bit professional and put together.

My wife did the painting that\u2019s behind me on every podcast and meeting; my mom painted pictures of both our dogs, which sit on the mantle behind me; and my son seems to come home from daycare with artwork two or three times a week. Sometimes, it\u2019s not very good (don\u2019t tell him I said that), and sometimes, my wife and I fight over who gets to hang it up.

The plant from my wife\u2019s best friend\u2019s wedding, very recently \u2014 both bride and groom were super into plants, and they made one of these for every guest. The chef is from one of my best friend\u2019s wedding, a few years ago; the couple picked Lego characters that they felt best represented each guest. I never asked him why I was a chef, but I love it.

I did learn to juggle! Still can\u2019t solve this thing. But it\u2019s not leaving my desk until I learn it.

I always try to keep a print book on my desk as a way to check out of work or just stop looking at screens for a few minutes. I should probably read rather than scroll TikTok, you know? Usually, it\u2019s, like, a superspy novel, but right now, it\u2019s this one. Even having followed and covered this story closely, some of the details are mind-blowing. And not usually in a good way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\"><strong>Anything else we didn\u2019t cover that you\u2019d like to add?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">You might have noticed the bunch of dangling cables off to the right side of my desk. That is the best thing I ever did; I drilled a hole in the back of the filing cabinet, stuck a power strip in there, and made myself a charging drawer. Sometimes, I charge things inside and keep it neat, and that\u2019s also where I keep all the things that charge on a mat or pad or whatever else, but mostly, it\u2019s just that big drape of cables. It has a Lightning cable, a Micro USB cable, a couple of proprietary ones for various gadgets, and a bunch of USB-C cables. It\u2019s not pretty, but boy, does it make life easier never needing to go looking for a plug or a cord. Charging stations for the win!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\"><em>Photography by David Pierce <\/em>\/<em> The Verge<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24259381\/work-home-desk-logitech-sony\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Pierce is The Verge\u2019s editor-at-large.
