What is the most useful item in your workspace?

Most useful item would be my AirPods, I’ve tried loads of headphones and earphones and these are far the best. They’re so versatile and they sound great!

What does your typical daily routine look like?

I normally wake up at 6am ish and walk my dog Digby! I love getting up early and getting some fresh air in the morning! I’ll come back and make a coffee and get ready for the work day! I’ll either commute to work or work from home depending on the day of the week! I’ll do my days work and then do anything I need to do with The Keycap Club and then normally have some tea! After that I’ll chill with my partner probably watch some tv!

How do you manage work-life balance?

I try and not look at my work apps on my phone after work that’s my main effort sometimes this doesn’t happen but I try and find a good balance!

What is your number 1 tip for working from home?

Remember to take regular breaks. I find myself my more focused at home so tend to do more work! I try to keep my routine similar to if I was in the office.
