Everyone needs to find a place where they can be productive. Remote workers have the freedom to create their workspace exactly as they want it.
Although X-Teamers need only their laptop to be productive, and can work from the top of Table Mountain as much they can from a beach in Koh Samui, we wanted to know more about their workspaces and why they set it up that way.
As such, here are eight X-Teamer workspace examples for you to draw inspiration from.
Workspace #1
"A few months ago I made this corner of the 'summer room' into a ‘micro office’ with features such as…
- stand up desk (rack boxes for elevation)
- iPad as second monitor (on cardboard box)
- Android tablet for news monitoring
- Small whiteboard (for hanging kids' drawings)
- Cooler under the desk for motivational beverages
- Easy access to the outdoors to bring the aforementioned beverages…"
Workspace #2
"I bought a small desk to use a little space that I have nearby my bedroom. Whiteboard in the back for new ideas, paper notebook for small reminders and extra monitor to use with the MacBook or Nintendo Switch."
Workspace #3
"At the moment a WIP; I'm close to getting a second monitor. Desk has enough space, I've got my homemade box with random things that I carry around and want to keep organized, my watch that bothers my wrist while I work, and my wallet. Then just two mice: one that helps my wrist avoid any injuries, and my gaming mouse. Not in the picture, but below you have my desktop and a headset hanging spot I've made.
Also, last weekend I organized all my cables in the back to have a clean spot for my legs. I also made this a secondary desk, for when I want to stand up (right behind me on the other wall)."
Workspace #4
"My setup is really simple, but I feel very comfortable here.
- My laptop
- 21:9 widescreen
- Wireless keyboard and mouse
- My journal, pencils, pens, and post-its
- 2 drawers (with more notebooks inside)
- And my own Pixar Lamp"
Workspace #5
"I got a small drawing board & an iPad for note taking. And that lamp was my latest acquisition."
Workspace #6
"Yesterday, I cleaned up my desk. I had a lot of toys that I'd put under both external monitors. I removed them and kept the essentials. From left to right: countdown timer, Rubik's Twist, a pen and phone stand made of Lego by Mimi. Also, a glass of water, but that's not a permanent object.
I tried using my external monitors vertically, and it's nice for editing code but I found it annoying and distracting to move my head from left to right then up and down... Therefore, I use them horizontally."
Workspace #7
"Simple desk with family pics, coffee, water, notebooks, and silence. I've set up this space in one of my empty rooms and turned it into an office."
Workspace #8
"Today, the productivity is sitting in the La Madeleine cafe! I love the atmosphere of the cozy, half-empty coffee house - extremely hard to find in Texas 🌎. My favorite cafe recipe includes:
- 1x MacBook
- 1x cappuccino
- 1x work log
- 1x noise-cancelling headphones for all the infants screaming with their parents (the most important ingredient)"
