What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?

I recently added Logitech Lift to my workspace. Actually, I didn't want to buy Lift because I would have difficulty using it due to its shape. I bought MX Master 3S instead. Logitech sent me Lift to try without using MX Master 3S for a month. The first moment I tried Lift; I couldn't believe its comfort. It's my favorite piece in my work area right now. Now I'm thinking of changing my desk chair.

What do you listen to while working? Any specific music or podcasts?

My playlists can get very complicated while I'm working. Sometimes I listen to an album from start to finish, and sometimes I listen to the playlist of YouTube channels such as Flavor Trip and My Analog Journal. I still haven't gotten into the habit of listening to podcasts!

What considerations went into your recent workspace renovation?

Since my husband and I worked freelance from home, our work areas were in the same area. It's a great chance to be side by side. But when our desk chairs started to bang against each other, preventing us from focusing, I settled back on the other wall of the living room. By placing the bookshelf next to my desk, I created a large work area. I also created a "home office" atmosphere. I'm very happy with its current state.
