<img src="img/shelves.jpg" alt="photo of my desk space with wall-mounted shelves">


I found myself so discombobulated yesterday after the [toe event](/i_hate_confrontation/) that I couldn’t sit down and get back to work, and so instead went out and purchased and then mounted a fab new set of shelves above my home desk. I had shelves like these (though much less nice ones) mounted above my desk in a couple of apartments in New York, and it took me a while to realize that all that searching around for some [new desk configuration](/leaning_shelves/) I’ve been doing over the last month or so was all about trying to replicate the feeling of those old workspaces. So why not just go back to the wall-mounted shelves? Much, much cheaper, much more flexible, and I feel like I’ve got a whole new office.
