Hello! I'm excited to share my workstation for this week's 'Workstation Wonders' contest. Brace yourselves! 🙈 This week's 'Workstation Wonders' theme is all about showcasing our workspaces, and mine... well, let's just say it's a 'work in progress.' ☕️ Papers everywhere, coffee stains, and a general sense of chaos reign supreme. But hey, it's functional (mostly)!

Monday Mornings: My Desk, a Battlefield

Ok, it's another Monday morning. The siren song of the Saturday and Sunday fades, and the reality of the workweek crashes down. And for me, that reality often manifests as a chaotic explosion on my desk.

Picture this: a battlefield of paperwork. Reports, meeting minutes – all strewn across the surface like fallen soldiers. In the midst of this paper war, lies the carcass of a fallen hero: a defective TV mainboard. It stares back at me, a silent testament to the last week failed repair attempt.

To add to the chaos, a half-empty cup of coffee, now lukewarm and mocking my dwindling motivation, sits precariously close to the system unit. My phone, a relentless buzzing machine, vibrates incessantly, a constant reminder of the outside world trying to invade my already fractured focus. And let's not forget the tangled mess of wires, courtesy of the phone charger that seems to have a mind of its own.

This, my friends, is my Monday morning desk. A testament to the weekend's blissful escape and the impending doom of the workweek.

The Paperwork Avalanche

Where does it all come from? I swear, I file things away. I diligently create folders, both digital and physical, to maintain some semblance of order. But by Monday morning, it's as if a mischievous gremlin has invaded my office, scattering papers like confetti.

There's the urgent email that demanded an immediate response, the report that needs to be finalized by noon, and the mountain of unread request require approval. Each piece of paper whispers its own urgent demands, creating a symphony of stress that threatens to drown me.

The TV Mainboard Tragedy

Ah, the TV mainboard. A casualty of my weekend boredom and a misplaced sense of confidence. I thought, "How hard can it be? Just a few capacitors, a soldering iron, and voila! A working TV."

Spoiler alert: it was harder than I anticipated. Now, the once-proud television lies dismantled, its innards scattered across my desk like the remains of a defeated robot. The mainboard, the heart of the machine, lies defeated, a victim of my amateur surgery.

The Phone's Siren Call

My phone, a relentless tormentor, adds to the cacophony. Constant notifications – texts, emails, social media alerts – bombard me from all sides. Each ping, each vibration, yanks my attention away from the task at hand, further fragmenting my focus.

The charger, a tangled mess of wires, contributes to the overall chaos. It snakes its way across the desk, tripping me up as I navigate the treacherous terrain of paperwork and electronic debris.

The Struggle for Order

Despite the chaos, I must persevere. I take a deep breath, push aside the fallen TV components, and attempt to regain control. I start by creating a to-do list, a futile attempt to impose order on the chaos.

Next, I tackle the phone. I silence the notifications, put it on airplane mode, and banish it to the furthest corner of my desk. This, I tell myself, will create a much-needed zone of peace.

The paperwork, however, proves to be a more formidable opponent. I start with the most urgent items, chipping away at the mountain one by one. The coffee, now cold and bitter, provides a much-needed caffeine boost, though its effectiveness is questionable.

The Monday Morning Ritual

This chaotic scene, this Monday morning ritual, is a familiar dance. A frustrating, yet oddly comforting, reminder of the challenges that lie ahead. It's a test of my resilience, a challenge to maintain my composure amidst the storm.

And somehow, amidst the chaos, I find a strange sense of satisfaction. In the face of this daily onslaught, I learn to adapt, to prioritize, to find pockets of calm amidst the storm.

Perhaps, one day, I'll conquer this Monday morning beast. I'll arrive at my desk to find a serene oasis of order, a haven of productivity. But until then, I'll continue to battle the chaos, one paper, one phone call, and one defective TV mainboard at a time.

This is my home desktop.

A notebook, an improvised LED lamp for those who don't have a backlit keyboard, a coffee mug, a chocolate bar, a coaster, and a hidden BITCOIN coin, if you can find it!

Esse é o meu desktop caseiro.

Greetings to all, happy week.

My workstation is unique and beautiful, I acquired it two years ago when a friend and former co-worker was selling his furniture because he was going to emigrate. I had nowhere to study or write well and with my spinal problems I needed to sit properly, so when I saw in his WhatsApp statuses a school student table and chair 🤣🤭 I fell in love with it.

Although it is a school desk or table its measurements are standard for anyone and more for a short person, for me it's perfect I'm 1,55 cm. I don't remember when it cost me but I know it was cheap and my friend gave me the delivery for free.

After a while I have been decorating it with stickers of the hive and some dapps that I have been given in the meetup. And every day I like my little table more and more, besides I can move it to any part of the house and enjoy a new environment whenever I want, for example the patio, is where I use it the most, I like to be under the mamon tree and if I look at the sky I can see the leaves moving with the wind and listen to the sound of the birds singing. It is the best workstation I have ever had.

This is my entry for this Monday's weekly Workstation Wonders contest. I present to you my workstation, which might look a bit chaotic at first glance. You’re probably wondering how it’s possible to work with three screens. For me, it’s much easier to shift my gaze between them than to rely on shortcuts all the time. Plus, I often work on a single design project using two or three different programs, like Photoshop or Illustrator.

As for the iPad, I have to say that having it there was a dream that took time and effort to achieve. Sometimes, I work on illustration projects, and I prefer using the iPad for drawing since Procreate makes it much more convenient.

To me, this workstation represents both comfort and functionality. It’s something I’ve been building over time, tailoring it to my needs and making it increasingly personal. Now it’s a space where I feel completely at ease.

Cheers, everyone!
