A tech-free desk?

Imagine sitting down at a desk that is straight out of the 20th century: beautiful pens, favorite notebooks, blank paper, perhaps some art supplies, not a device in sight. Believe it or not, you can get away with a tech-free desk -  if it’s your second desk.  This is something I’ve dreamed of. It’s just not possible yet in my guest room/office, but in my next home, the two desk office will be top priority.

Melissa Griffin says in her article “Why two desks will increase your productivity”:

Your no-technology-allowed desk is where you brainstorm, create ideas, and start putting them into action. If you’re a designer, it might be where you sketch some logo ideas. If you’re a blogger, perhaps you’ll map out future post ideas. Keep your tech-free supplies at this desk (or nearby) for easy access. Leave your phone, computer, tablet, roomba, and anything else that needs a battery at your other desk. Over time, this tech-free space will give you permission to do your work without feeling like you need to check in with the world every 12 minutes.
