* Jot down personal notes or ideas

It's like your digital workspace — fully customizable and always accessible.

* **Keyboard Shortcut**:
  * `Cmd + Shift + D` on Mac
  * `Ctrl + Shift + D` on Windows
* **Via Sidebar**:
  * Go to the top of the sidebar
  * Click on **My Desk**

***

### Populating Your Desk

Once you're on your desk:

* **Drag items** from the recent list to the desk
* **Double-click** anywhere to create new blocks
* Use the **slash command** (/) to insert:
  * Docs from your library
  * Any type of block (e.g., notes, tasks, videos)

***

### Different Uses for Your Desk

Your desk can adapt to your workflow. Here are a few common use cases:

* Brainstorming space
* Daily to-do list
