best desk setup for productivity

light is light - sunlight is great but it's not always reliable or accessible.



If you have a good lamp you should be fine....I have a rather old fashioned one I bought not long ago with 3 bulbs so I can adjust the lighting in the room by turning on 1, 2 or all three lights.


I've always found light fixtures/lamps gave better light to work on the 'screens' than sunlight.

I agree with Kay - unless you can position your screen so that the sunlight is coming from behind it, there'll likely be reflection problems. I prefer to draw the blinds - or wait until sunset. We don't get enough sunshine here that I can afford to waste it by staying indoors.

Is working at night an option for you? Or maybe moving your set-up to another room in the property? If not, I'd suggest you invest in some good artificial lighting. The best aid to creativity is a comfortable environment.

Get some natural light lamps like artists use. Plenty of choices on Amazon

You could always get a Table lamp with a clamp. They go on your desk and shine a light above your screen. Depending on your price range there are several different modules. Some have LED Lights with 2 settings.

Here's one that takes you to a page on Amazon that shows one style of desk lamp. (Non-Affiliate Links}

Also just keep your desk free of clutter. For example a pen and paper holder setup only. Nothing else unless you have a lot of room. If you do have enough room the printer to sit on the desktop. Keep it within arm's reach so you don't have to get up out of the chair to use it.

Hope that helps

I just plonk my Laptop on a table with a tall halogen lamp to one side making sure it doesn't shine off the screen or l can directly see the light, which is pretty bright.

You may be referring to websites, etc with white backgrounds, that give you mild snow blindness?

Which are hard to read after a while, if so install the FireFox browser and then install the Owl app, which is free and works great for reversing white backgrounds to dark ones, (easier on the eyes).
