The best place for a whiteboard or pinboard in a home office is somewhere visible and easy to reach during work. If it is hidden behind you, too high, or across the room, you probably will not use it regularly. Place it beside your desk, near your normal line of sight, and at a comfortable writing height. Use a whiteboard for changing tasks and quick ideas, or a pinboard for reminders, documents, and visual planning. Keep it out of video call view if it contains private notes.
