Do you breakdown and put away your equipment every time after recording, or do you leave your equipment set up at all times?
Personally I leave my equipment set up at all times (mic, interface, monitors, headphones, lights, green screen), though I do swing my microphone to the side (on the boom arm). I also cover most of my equipment with dust covers overnight.

I have a dedicated room and leave my equipment set up and covered when not in use. If I had to set it up each time, I’d likely be amazingly unproductive. I do have a second set up that I keep in cases for recording in other locations.
I leave mine up all the time. Just turn off the stuff I don’t need and swing the mic out of the way like you mentioned.
My equipment is set up in a dedicated “home studio.” Everything stays where it needs to be and remains properly connected. It’s actually a pretty complicated setup because I’m running a mixer, two laptops, external hard drives, monitors, digital recorder, two mics on two boom arms, and a preamp. I’m not taking that down! Actually, I did take it all down once to move to a different room. Getting all the cables run properly was a pain. I do have a much smaller but redundant kit that I use for remote recording, which I do a lot of. Something I can grab and go and be sure all the essentials are there.
