How would you guys go on Acoustically Treating this room.

As you can see i have a big window, all walls are concrete and the wall behind the computer is made out of plywood.
So, what're your suggestions.

With some difficulty. :D

There's not a whole lot of room there, and not even counting the walls...you have a lot of hard surfaces.
So...I would cover most of the wall surfaces...maybe 75% with broadband trapping..and then maybe a couple of deeper LF-only traps in the corners (like where the chair is and at the foot of the bed, maybe some kind of triangle wedge, since you don't really have much room in there...and/or something in the corners where the walls meet the ceiling. The bed is actually going to help you...but of course, it sucks up a lot of your space.
Also a cloud on the ceiling...not the whole thing, but about 60% of it.

Oh...for the glass door...a heavy cloth curtain would help, that you can draw over the door when needed.

You should decide in the size of the broadband traps...and then measure out your wall/ceiling space. Then if you don't want to go for maximum coverage, place a few traps so that they are spaced to leave exactly the right amount of wall for additional traps.
IOW...start with something like TRAP-WALL-TRAP-WALL-TRAP...then if that is not enough...fill in the empty WALL spaces with additional traps.
TBH...the traps don't have to be one after the other with NO wall space...I'm just saying, do the math so you don't end up with weird empty wall space that you can't fit normal size traps into.
Most ready-made come in 2' x 2' or the standard 2' x 4' sizes...and you get the thickness you want. 2" and 4" thickness are usually considered broadband...6" and above will really help with the LF...and then you can get the specialized ones with membranes/etc for real heavy LF control.
So do some pencil-n-paper planning...measure at least 3 times...2 times of you are really good at this stuff...and then think about either buyin' or makin'.

GIK Acoustics is a good place to at least see and read...and then you can make better decisions.
 
And when Miro says 'trap' he means rockwool/compressed fiberglass, not foam. A floor plan would help advising further, can't tell shit from shinola in your pictures.
