Silent Setup: Optimize Your Home Office for Focus (Not Flash)

1. Use a laptop stand + external keyboard to achieve eye-level screen height—reduces neck strain. 2. Plug devices into a power strip with a switch to kill phantom noise/vampire power at night. 3. Place a small felt mat under your keyboard/mouse to dampen typing sound in quiet spaces. 4. Face your desk toward natural light, not under it—reduces glare and boosts alertness. 5. Keep cables tidy with velcro ties, not zip ties—easy access, less stress when adjusting. No gadgets required, just smarter placement.
