Please comment photos of your home office or WFH setup!

I’m finally getting my own room to convert to a home office, but I’m sick of looking at unrealistic online photos for ideas. Don’t care if your space is organized or messy or whatever, I just need practical inspiration!

I actually had a better setup before the pandemic - I lost my office to a baby nursery. Now I have a folding table in the basement. I’m here for efficiency ideas.

Once I realized the WFH thing was going to be long term, I had to rearrange. Getting it set up was time-consuming, especially because the monitors, keyboard, and mouse are also hooked up to my personal computer (so many wires). But now I have a functional workspace.

This is my setup unless I'm on a zoom call with a client involved, in which case I pull the desk (a table I got on Amazon for like $60) forward several feet and reverse everything so that my back is to the wall and so no one has to see my bedroom. I impulse bought the computer (an HP all-in-one) in December on a whim but it's worked out pretty great since my firm uses a remote desktop. The only downside to this setup is the lack of desk space but I manage.

Corner of my living room. Only downside is our remote system isn’t compatible on two screens with my Mac. Would love ideas for a cheap non Mac laptop!

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April.

CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.
