    If you’d like to see my setup journey, I shared my path on Mastodon.

    Below was March 2020:

      I noticed you switched from having vertical side monitors to horizontal. Is there a specific reason?

        I noticed you switched from having vertical side monitors to horizontal.

        I did switch! I used the vertical monitor for Slack and other notification/messaging tools (and for my tasks tracker tools and Kanban boards)… and when I added the above-mounted monitor, I noticed I was shifting the same windows upwards rather than to the vertically mounted screens I was using.

        So I’m testing it out and enjoying the switch. However, I might switch back at one point as I do a lot of documents in my daily workflow, and the vertical monitors help with the editing process.

          I see! Just curious if you had a change in workflow, or if horizontal monitors were better for your productivity or anything like that. Thanks for sharing!

    The Pixel buds also charge on the stand right? Or is it just so you can charge both phone and the buds at the same time?

      Yes.

      Or is it just so you can charge both phone and the buds at the same time?

      Exactly!

      I have banned my cell from my bedroom, so each night I place my phone and my earbuds in one spot on the desk. Also, I leave my phone docked on the Pixel Stand during the day and work hours, which lets it double as a bit of a digital display and control for music/podcasts.
