With less travel happening, and more people spending time wfh than office, has anyone really invested in a good home office setup? I have the extra space and want to create a productive setup. Would love to hear your advice/ input. Thanks! 🙏

There’s a reason if finance folks use 2-3 26” screens as a starting point. Personally three screens it’s my preference but some laptop can’t handle 3 screens so you’re limited at two. Get a Herman miller chair (expensive but you’ll thank me) consider foot rest depending on desk height (need to align arm rest to desk height) and Def get a webcam. Might seem like a bit of an investment but it’s life changing. Productivity and comfort. Also pretty sure it will cost you less down the line than physio appointment to fix your neck and back.

There’s also the (new) are-old question: 2 monitors or an ultra wide like ADL1 said? 🤷‍♂️

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
