Golden Hour Desktop Setup

Strategically use natural light to reduce glare from your screen. This can work both ways, if it’s too sunny out putting the monitor by the window can be a distraction. We also love the custom ergo keyboard, Ergodox Ez. It’s important to invest in a comfortable setup especially if you’re working from home.

We love the greyscale feel of this environment. The greyscale color palette in this desktop setup helps to limit distractions which is perfect for Flow and focus.
