As for using a dry wipe board - the bigger the better. I would not be without one. It is a very useful tool for the planning stage of a project and then when the project is up and running it is great for dealing with those last little loose ends. Having it where you cannot avoid seeing it is another way of helping to keep on track. I keep a computer planner/checklist too but the best bit is when you get to wipe the board clean ready for the next project. This is a very practical and useful article.

Very cost effective indeed. Yea, I’ve seen these in the UK – I think it’s called ‘Magic Board’ or something like that. Very cost effective indeed.

I currently have a 4 monitor system but the 4th is just for testing purposes on my current project. My saying is: how many monitors does a developer/designer need? One more than they have. :) The problem with white boards is the cost. But I've found that you can go to Home Depot/Lowes and get white board sheets that are 4x8 feet for about $12. I can't remember the name of the material - which actually works better than what white boards are made of - but it's usually near the shower section. I cut mine to 4x4, put some wood borders around them and had a huge amount of whiteboard space for about $25 total. Note: Green expo pens seem to be the easiest to erase. 2 monitors certainly helps increase productivity. 3 helps even more!

That is so funny that you mention the whiteboard on the other side of the room. My friend recommended the same thing to me. He says not only does it force him to get up from time to time, but when he's gazing out into space, he sometimes looks over there and has a new epiphany! Insofar as the chair goes, you can also get one that inspires movement AND is colorful at the same time. I bought one of the Capisco chairs last year and it still makes me smile everytime I step into my home office. Here's a picture of one: http://www.ergodepot.com/HAG_Capisco_p/8106retro.htm Kyle Great article Taiyab.
