Stumbled into a coworking space in Portland and it rewired my whole desk layout

I was visiting a friend in Portland last month and ducked into this place called The Clean Slate to kill some time. Saw a guy with his monitor arm clamped to the side of his desk instead of the back, and it freed up so much surface space I couldn't believe it. Switched my own setup around when I got home and now I have room for a sketchpad and coffee mug without clutter. Anyone else find a weird little trick like that from just watching how someone else works?

Whoa I read that clamping to the side is actually better for your neck too.

Yeah side clamping feels way more natural to me too. Switched to it a few months back and my neck pain dropped off pretty quick.
