Sliding, Hiding, Tilting, Dry Erase Boards
Lately I've been trying to reduce my distractions. A "do later" list has been helping a lot.
But, today that do-later list was in my way (and distracting) as I was filling my white board with pseudo-code. The solution was to build 2 white boards that not only provide more space to write, but they also slide away out of sight.
These boards are velcroed at the edge against the drawer face. This allows them to flip open to have full access to the drawers, as well as lean against the desk for more comfortable brainstorming.
Materials? Tile board & Velcro. You can pick up a 4x8 sheet of tile board for only $11 at Home Depot. Cut that down to size - be sure to cut it about 1/2" short of the drawer's opening so you can open it to access the drawer's contents. Attach your Velcro (color optional) along the front edge of the board, on the lower edge of the drawer face.
I plan on using the right slida-hida-tilta-board for my do-later list and long-term projects list. The left will contain project-relevant contact info. My main board is now free to be used for distraction-free brainstorming.
