When you look at the U-shaped desk, L-shaped desk, and the common rectangular desk, you will probably start wondering which one is the best shape for your work. The U shape is one of the better shapes if you want a lot of desk space where you can just spread everything around and not have to worry about it. In some cases, you might even be able to put all your tasks on one side, your active task in the middle where you can work on it, and then your finished tasks on the other side. Watch one pile get bigger and the other get smaller through the workday, and then see what that does to your productivity!
