My home office and workshop are on an overlook on the only deep river gorge on the entire length of the Mississippi River.

In my home office, I built a custom sit-stand desk to which I connected a big, kidney shaped glass top which I got for cheap at Ikea. Kidney-shaped desk tops are, I think, the most efficient of all possible desk shapes.

In my office, I like it quiet, so I can concentrate.

I'd love to get ideas on overcoming jet lag.
