My Desk
What you see above is my workstation for practically anything. I will go from left to right to describe the essentials. A bottle of water is a necessity. I keep going refilling it every so often, which seems to be the most physical exercise I do. Then, there are two speakers which are extremely useful, especially since my headset broke a couple of months ago.
Scattered on the desk are separate stacks of papers. Some of them are ethics and title proposals for my thesis, and others are notes that I was studying from earlier. On one of them lies my wallet, because, I just placed it there as soon as I came home. I have two decently-sized monitors attached to my computer. Initially, they were for gaming, but I barely play video games anymore. As you see, my left screen is generally used for Discord, whereas my right screen is used for Steemit. When I am doing other things, e.g. researching, I might my word document on the right and research articles on the left. It helps with writing and paraphrasing without having to alt+tab frequently.
In front of the right monitor lies the proof copy of my book, Welcome to the Sombre Days. It is constantly there, right in front of me, and I tend to pick it up and read a random poem every now and then again. I would say it is an incredible book, but then you might say I am too biased. But, seriously, it is a great book. Anyways, I have some other things lying around, and the video camera lying between the two monitors - although I have not done a spoken word video in a couple of weeks. Writing this post makes me realise that I should be a little bit more organised.
I would like to nominate these five steemians: 
My new poetry collection, Welcome to the Sombre Days, is published as paperback on Amazon and ebook on Kindle. Each day, I am sharing another poem from the book on Steemit. Here are the available parts so far:
