After experimenting, testing, and refining my workspace, I realized something:

It’s not about having the “perfect setup” —

it’s about having a clear and minimal one.

So here’s what I actually keep on my desk right now.

🧩 The Core Setup

I reduced everything to just a few essentials:

Laptop (main working tool)

Notebook (quick thoughts & planning)

Pen (always within reach)

That’s the core. Everything else is optional.

🔄 Supporting Elements

A few additional items that support the system:

A simple light source (comfortable visibility)

One small object (for visual balance, not decoration)

Nothing more than necessary.

🚫 What I Removed

More important than what I kept is what I removed:

Random small items

Multiple unused tools

Anything that doesn’t serve a clear purpose

Every extra item adds friction.

⚙️ How I Decide What Stays

I use a simple filter:

Do I use this daily?

Does it support my main task?

Does it reduce friction or add to it?

If the answer is no, it doesn’t stay.
