Tools:

• Macbook Pro
• Huge external monitor, but not super high-res so text is somewhat large on it (it's some sort of LG that I bought offline)
• External Canon EOS Rebel T7 for high-fidelity video when needed
• Podcast-grade audio setup, but nothing uber-fancy
• Mac external keyboard (wireless) and touchpad (wireless), gaming mouse from Razor
• Two phones - one personal, one work (out of shot, charging off of my gaming PC that you can't see in these)
• Day bed (key for naps), currently lacking its cover as our puppy had an accident on it (during a work call no less!)
• Stack of poker chips for shuffling when I get stuck in a work task
• Pens/paper for notes
• Apple Watch in case I work out
• Various liquids with differing caffeine levels
• Some sort of ergo-friendly chair that I bought online
• Books, which are my friends and provide good sound dampening
