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

The latest addition is my MacBook Air M4 — a small but mighty upgrade that fits perfectly into my workflow. It’s lightweight, silent, and fast enough to handle editing and planning when I’m away from my main setup. It’s become my go-to device for creative work on the move.

What is one change you’d like to make to your current workspace?

I’d love to replace my current chair with a higher, more ergonomic one. Since I spend most of my day either coding or editing videos, comfort and posture have become top priorities. The right chair would make those long creative sessions a lot smoother.

How do you spark creativity?

I find creativity through reading — especially books on focus, mindset, and personal growth — and weight training. Lifting helps me disconnect from screens, recharge mentally, and return to work with fresh ideas and a sharper sense of direction.

What does your typical day look like?

I usually wake up around 6:30 a.m. and start my day with reading and a focused hour of coding before heading to the gym. Once I’m back, I dive into deep work — handling tasks for my job and personal projects in blocks of focused coding sessions.

Afternoons are more flexible: I plan content, shoot videos, or handle collaborations. I try to maintain a rhythm that balances structure with creativity, allowing space for inspiration while still getting meaningful work done.

What do you enjoy most about WFH life?

What I appreciate most about working from home is the freedom to manage my own time. I can align my day with my energy — whether that means editing late at night or taking a break midday to recharge. That flexibility allows me to work at my best without feeling constrained by a traditional schedule.
