2 questions› What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?
I’ve finally joined the cool desk shelf crewTM by adding the Ugmonk Gather monitor stand and its components to my desk, and I absolutely love it. I was lacking some storage in my previous setup, and it also contributes to reinforcing the workspace vibe I’m trying to bring to my desk.
I also recently added the Ugmonk Analog to my routine. It’s the perfect physical companion to Linear for both day job and personal projects. It brings clarity and acts as a focus starter for me: before working on something, I tidy up my desk, hit play on one of my playlists, change the status of my task, and I’m ready.Ugmonk Analog
› What is an item under $100 that everyone should have in their workspace?
Regardless of your occupation, I think everyone should spend a bit of money on a great notebook and pen — so way less than $100. It’s probably the fastest way of organizing your thoughts and ideas, coming up with new ones, and being the starting point of great projects.I’ve attended Raphael Schaad’s Config ’24 talk “From paper to pixels” and it resonated a lot with my approach and gave me some new ideas to try. Also loved his mix of scans + organizing every page on Figma, absolutely recommend watching it!
