My home office is just completely crammed full of, well, stuff.

I work from home, and have a well defined workspace at a large desk, but my office contains three desks at the moment, and I want to turn it into a room that's useful for more.

Step one has to be getting stuff out of this room, so I have begun that task. One desk will go and be replaced by either a reading chair or a two person couch. As they say though, the only way to get this done is like eating an elephant, one bite at a time.

One of the challenging things is that, as I work through, the closet for instance, I discover projects that I should and could do. I keep having to tell myself that "now is not that time" and it seems to be working.

Probably the most challenging thing is trying to figure out homes for the things I don't want but that are perfectly useful. I want less stuff.

After using the same desk since 1998, I picked up a Jarvis desk from Fully and finally got to set it up over the weekend. It took a few hours to get my home office ready for another desk, and to get my computers and wiring broken down. It took another few hours to assemble the new desk, re-run the cabling to be standing desk compatible, and then to set my gear back up.

I am still waiting for some lighting strips to come in, and I need to spend some more time on cable management, but today is my first day at the new setup, and I can already tell that it's going to be much better for me overall.

It’s an adjustable height desk, but I think I will primarily use it as a “sit at” desk. I just figured that it would make sense to get it and set it up in case I did want to try out that standing desk life. I wanted something that was a little wider to better accommodate my Mac on one side/PC on the other setup, and having monitor arms installed in the grommets has freed up a lot of desk space.
