A welcome shift in lifestyle, but I have always struggled with focus (ADHD). Any pointers/tips for how to best set myself up for success? Room is pretty much empty except for the work setup, and I try to keep the door closed when I'm working.
My girlfriend just moved in with me. We both work in tech and both work from home at the same time occasionally. We have one wide desk with a couple of monitors on it.
Whenever we switch between who gets to sit at the desk there are a lot of cables that have to be switched between devices and it looks a bit messy.
I would like to have a setup that would allow us to sit side by side at the desk and use one screen each.
I would like it to be as simple as plugging in a single USB-C cable and everything is set up (one for each side, that is).
The big ask is; I also want to be able to take control of both screens from a single computer whenever one of us is not working from home and the one who does has access to the whole desk.
I want to be able to switch between sharing 2 screens between 2 laptops and controlling both screens with that same computer. Switching should be quick and easy.
The problem is; All solutions I have found include getting something like 2 KVM switches and 3 USB-C docks and plugging them together in a funky configuration.
Not only is that a lot of tech for solving the problem, it is also very expensive.
Do you have any advice on how we could get this to work in a reasonable way? How would you solve it?
I’ve got two Mac laptops, two tower PCs and five monitors. All in a small 10x6 basement office room. I’m in there 8-12 hours a day, 5-7 days a week (my gaming PC is one of the towers), for the last 15 years.
I’ve often wondered: am I shortening my life with fumes and electronic fields?
