What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?
Pomodoro timer. Physical one, not an app.
What’s one change you’d like to make to your current workspace?
I’ve been itching to try a standing setup, so I’d swap out my desk legs for adjustable ones.
How do you spark creativity?
Depends on the day—sometimes music does the trick, sometimes a quick scroll through Pinterest or Arena, and other times I’ll just mess around with Claude or ChatGPT.
What does your typical day look like?
Morning routine (meditation, breakfast, shower)
Work (messages, tasks, calls)
Walk break (park + coffee)
More work (quieter stretch, fewer distractions)
Tennis (occasionally)
Chill time (movies, cafes, catching up with friends, etc.)
What do you enjoy most about working from home?
Spending more time with my wife, having the freedom to set my own schedule, and skipping the commute—both the time and the cost.
