Let’s all just sit back appreciate the teeny tiny ceiling light.

[@CarenMagill]

What ceiling light?

I hate commuting too. 😩😩

[@CarenMagill]

It's the WORST. Total waste of time.

This is great and your office is absolutely lovely but curveball - I'm an artist which sort of inherently means I have A LOT of supplies. I've just cleaned my studio and am trying to reduce reduce reduce but it's so hard! Papers, pens, paints, clay, felt, paper paper paper and more paper. Someday I hope to have 2 separate space: one for digital illustration work, which would be more set up like your office here because I'll only need my computer and tablet & sketchbook. Then another space for the other arts/hobby/crafts etc! I'm like a magpie, I collect all of the things because it might turn into art supplies (90% it does not haha). I'm trying to work on my space so I can spend more time focusing on my freelance career and followthrough because I hope to be 100% freelance/remote someday - but dang it's hard! :) Thanks as always for sharing!

[@CarenMagill]

I know... it's a constant battle, but your environment is so important for your productivity!

[@jess.liveutah]

This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing your space with us. I have a similar setup with three monitors and your video provided a huge AH-HA moment for me. I have two monitors on one desk and my mac laptop on another desk and it has been a constant struggle managing my work between the two different operating systems (Windows + Mac). Your setup is so inspiring. I came across this video because my office is currently cluttered right now and I was seeking a solution, thank you, thank you, thank you! So helpful. I love the standing desk configuration too!

[@aonaga8988]

Your content needs more recognition! Thank you so much your videos are so helpful as aperson with ADHD ❤️

[@CarenMagill]

Aw, thank you!!! I appreciate your support!

[@dariusshojaei5036]

Great video. I just made a ADHD focus work at home desk myself, found this video after and we have so many thing in common. Got some good tips too.

[@thewritinglefty4889]

Can I just say thank you? This, and potentially your channel may be my salvation

[@3dchick]

Love seeing other people's set ups. Always great for ideas ❤

[@eclowe6594]

hey I have that same brand visual timer in green 💚 and omg that desk! 😍 I currently have a nice but pretty standard desk in my home office. I have open shelves on it (but those cube shelves would do the same trick!). One of my biggest problems is actually not from adhd with some chronic pain I'm having that if I am sitting at my desk the whole time I'm meeting with clients then it's really hard for me to stay sitting after I do the other things I need to do on my computer... But my ADHD makes it really hard for me to keep my workflow going if I try to do something like take my laptop in the living room to lay on the couch and do it. And those wheels! One of the reasons I think the work flow gets disrupted is I have a docking station and two monitors in my office that really make it easy for me to see multiple things at once and I can't really do that on a tiny laptop screen

[@CarenMagill]

Same here. I need all the monitors to keep me focused. Have you tried a standing desk?

[@eclowe6594]

@@CarenMagill I have a little one that's like the size of a tray table I've used with a laptop but I haven't had one that I can have monitors on

[@lizkorte4023]

Needed this!! Love your channel. Thank you!

[@airclairmusic1466]

so cool

[@maryhaire3032]

Thanks for the helpful and inspiring videos. ADHD is tough.

[@CarenMagill]

It can be, yes.

[@jennifergorman7723]

Love the ring light comments about and Botox!

[@CarenMagill]

Ha!! It's important! 😊

[@bonniepaora8664]

Loved this video! Have you got any other ADHD friendly spaces you have designed for your home? Id love to see more if so

[@CarenMagill]

Good question! If I can clean up my kitchen, I'll show that too.

[@bonniepaora8664]

@@CarenMagill i relate lol, just finished tidying my whole house last night, but dont go in the kitchen 😭😂

[@husainyard]

Nice setup! May I know what warm white paint you use for the wall? Looks warm and cozy.

[@CarenMagill]

Thanks! It's Antique White by Sherman Williams. Although, there's some color correcting in editing, so it might not be exactly as you see it. I feel like it has very strong yellow tones

[@denisebaird6407]

Very nice😀

[@CarenMagill]

Why thank you! :)

[@alexandratelfer6856]

I see the link for the desk, but what about the portion for your laptop and monitors? I am the type that overly researches because what if I make a purchase and it doesn't work for my ADHD and then I'm "stuck" with it. 🙃

[@CarenMagill]

That's a great way to be, Alexandra. It's better than being an impulsive shopper. Here's a link to the stand amzn.to/3MNG3td

[@stephaniehamilton5215]

What is the app/ software you are using for all the tasks on the first monitor?

[@CarenMagill]

Notion!

[@Azwrld]

where'd you get that cool triangle shaped mic accessory?

[@CarenMagill]

amazon!

[@KarenMSmith-ck3ul]

don’t you worry about the moisture from the diffuser near the computer?

[@CarenMagill]

No, it's a good two feet away.

[@gavinsmith0905]

What size are your monitors please??

[@CarenMagill]

I have no idea? Average size?

[@ab.122]

Does it distracts youu to see objects behind your desk? I can’t do anything if i am not looking at the wall. Or else i will get up and find something “urgent” to do. But again i am not medicated…😅

[@CarenMagill]

Nope, they are behind me, so i don't see them. I have two huge monitors in front of me, so that helps me stay focused.
