What is the most useful item in your workspace?

My most useful product would be my monitor arm. It gives me a lot of extra space on my desk and has a lot of adjustable settings. Before I bought it I didn't think it would make such a difference

How do you spark creativity?

For me, creativity usually starts when I get up from the computer. Going for a walk (especially just walking without listening to anything) and exploring new places feeds my creativity extremely. In short, I go out for creative ideas then come back to the computer to implement them.

What does your typical day look like?

I usually wake up at 08:00, take a shower and then start working. Lately I read a book for about 15 minutes around 12:30. After our shift ends at 18:00, I go for a walk. Then I have dinner and relax with my wife, probably watch some TV.
