Successful people don't mess around when it comes to their working space.
A desk has to be a place where you can be productive, healthy, and comfortable for many hours, day in day out.
Craigslist founder Craig Newmark prefers a sparse desk, while Peter Guber, co-owner of the L.A. Dodgers, keeps his desk "crowded" with memorabilia "to create an un-intimidating environment for business associates."
Michael Moritz, Chairman at Sequoia Capital, keeps a bottle of emergency whiskey "for the bad surprise."
And some professionals don't work at a desk at all.
As a part of LinkedIn's “View From My Desk” series, some of the most successful professionals in the world revealed where they work. We're publishing the highlights with permission.

Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist
"I have one big screen connected to a desktop. There's little paper there, since I've arranged pretty much everything online. You'll see a few knickknacks, with some focus on my prior role model, Homer Simpson, and I just acquired something related to my current role model, Grandpa Simpson."
