Right….?

I share an office with my SO. We have a counter that the other goes to if we have meetings at the same time. If one of us is presenting and the other is just listening to a meeting, noise cancelling headphones are a game changer.

I’d just suggest trying to keep things as fair as possible. If you have space, put the second desk in the living room and figure it out. We just didn’t have space for that in the common area.

Oh same! We have desks in the middle and each of our backs are to a different wall. Works well IMO

🤣 - I live alone in a 2 BR and work from the living room. it’s just easier

She works from the bed (??!) in master bedroom; sometimes comes into the office/guest room and works from the bed we have in there lol.

If we have meetings at the same time one will leave fher if we’re in office, me if I’ve decided to hang out in bedroom)

Alternate days or morning/evening. Typically driven by whoever has the most important meeting getting the office, and the other getting the dining table and dog.

How do you decide anything in life?

I demanded it. Also I have more conference calls so it makes sense for me to have a room with a door.
