What's the best place to hang your whiteboard

Hey,

I just got my white board and I am wondering what will be the best place to hang it.

My desk is right by the wall. So will it be best to hang it right in front of me or on the wall on the back.

Here is a simple illustration of what the room is like

====================

== : Wall
** : My desk
&& : Me
__ : Wall behind me

If I put the whiteboard right above my desk, I might have some problem writing on it cause the desk will be in the way.

If I put it on the wall behind me I won't have my daily goals right in front of me so I might not be very productive.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

    I'd say put it where it fits and you can see it.

      Didn't know there was an off topic forum. I'd appreciate it if a moderator would move it.

      It could fall into IM very easy, just depends on how you look at it.


      I'd say you need to have the whiteboard within arms reach, and also directly in front of you. If you keep looking up at what you need to do, you'll feel a lot more "obligated" to have to do it.

      Something like this:
