Observation notes

Harrison's LG ultrawide sits on a wood shelf riser flanked by eucalyptus and succulents, an Edison bulb desk lamp throwing warm light across the navy wall behind it. The screen itself just reads "STAY FOCUSED" — a screensaver doing double duty as a reminder.

A walnut wrist rest curves under an Alice-layout keyboard, and a BM-800 mic on a boom arm sits ready by more eucalyptus stems. Cable management, warm lighting, and plants — the three things he says any desk needs before anything else.
