[@archangeldeltius1511]

There are a couple things that need to be noted, the reasoning for not eating at your space is because not only can it cause a mess but it also causes your brain to make a psychological link relating your desk to eating. The same logic is why you should have a sperate study area to your room because your brain ties the room to sleep. ideally, you shouldn't really be in your room except for bed activities.

[@babyblu5590]

Nice, simple and practical tips. My only gripe would be the window which I don't currently have a nice scenery access. :) I'd prefer that too if not for some of the following problems: the UV rays will definitely degrade equipment so make sure that the sun is always facing away from your window. If not, install a ceramic tint to deflect most of the UV rays. I'd rather have windows behind me these days so that I need to stand and stretch & walk around hehe... Plus my current setup is (2) ultra-wide monitors with one large monitor / TV above so that doesn't give me much choice but to mount them all. Too cluttered to have a window behind all that. Got into RGB lighting too just recently. Great for the evenings or low-light conditions. Important to have a wall behind to deflect all the backlighting. ;) Cheers mate!
