 Does your table have drawers? If so, do what one regular contributor to the forum does- keep a bottle of booze in each. 

[#5]

I have shelves and door

[#6]

Cats take up most of the space on my table because there is no softer place to sleep on in the whole house. I can't close my drawers either. They don't like closed drawers so they open them. Cat hair makes my laser mouse stutter and I can't use the number pad on the keyboard without pushing a cat tail. It is really hard working from home.

I had cat but it stolen chicken and missing. In breaks I I ride an electric bike and bougth a lot of equipments for skiing also I try ice skates. At last time I fall asleep (literally sleep) at bad near so laptop help me work sometimes at nigth, early morning (light night about 3-4-5-6 am), after midnight 1-2 am.

If you have another room or room in your work place have you thought about adding a bed where you can get some sleep? 

Computers eat up your melatonin, so unless you want to end up surrounded by people in white coats, you need to think about what cathode rays do to your brain.

Perhaps you should explain, for the benefit of forumites who are too young to remember cathode ray tubes. 

[#11]

My first monitor was with ray tube but for proffessional and flat

[#12]

I have UHD LG monitor. http://www.lg.com/ru/monitors/lg-27UD68-W . What are years did you leave?

[#13]

Baris: do you need to hire an exterminator?

[#14]

dust collector may be sometimes but really I can myself. I saw cockroaches in dorms. I like spiders but spiderman is **bleep**.

 Shush.. Petra might hear...

I'll crowdsource it.

My workspace is horrifically messy, but this is my basic set-up.

I use a laptop docking station, so I just dock my laptop and it automatically connects to my headphones, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I also use a monitor riser, and highly recommend it for anyone. My desk is massive but it never seems to have enough space, so I bought this riser. It has a cupholder, phone holder, spots for a mouse, and a keyboard can slide underneath for when you need actual desk space. It is honestly the best thing I have ever purchased for work. 

Also in case anyone was curious about my equipment (I'm a gamer so my stuff isn't necessarily what you would buy just for working)

Keyboard: SteelSeries Apex 150

Mouse: SteelSeries Sims 4 Limited Edition

Headphones: SteelSeries Siberia (can't remember the model)

Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW (purchased at an estate sale for $20)

Laptop: HP ProBook (I'm currently awaiting the arrival of the Lenovo custom-built laptop I ordered weeks ago)

Also little tip to new freelancers (in America, at least), anything purchased for work can be a tax write-off. Consult a tax expert before you do it but it really helps out at the end of the year.

EDIT: I feel the need to add that I am moving across the US in a month, so my floor is full of boxes and most of my desk has been packed. I'm not usually THIS disorganized.

[#19]

May be need to buy webcam, but I do not like to shave.

[#20]

Not so crowded...

[#21]

I want the one in the gingham-lined basket. 

[#22]

I like German Shepherd but only cat can play with keyboard. Pigs watch video games: race. Dog like listen music.

[#23]

I got a new desk recently and I love the extra space. Here's a pic, with of course the obligatory cat in the photo. Usually there's 3 of them getting in the way. 

[#24]

Emily, everything looks beautiful. Especially the cat : D

[#25]

I currently work in my bedroom, on my bed, which might be destroying my back slowly. Although am planning to eventually move into a two bedroom place and make one room an office, so I can feel smug about it.
