5 questions

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

I recently added Oasis lights, heyoasis.com. They really changed the space and added depth to the space. Feels warmer and more inviting. Highly recommend.

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

I'm currently working with a contractor to replace the back wall with glass, they will be tearing down the wall behind the desk and replacing with floor to ceiling sheets of glass which will open the space.

› Walk us through your morning routine—what's the first thing you do at your desk?

I'm usually up around 6:30-7AM, I'm a big coffee drinker. I'm usually 2-3 cups in before 9AM when I start my work day.

› What's one productivity trick that actually works for you?

Believe it or not I've been working on slowing down, focusing on making fewer but more impactful decisions daily. This has helped quite a bit across many areas of my life.

› What's the most underrated app or tool you use every day?

iPhone mirroring. Having my phone on my computer screen has been game changing. I tend to get lost in my phone, probably like most of us. Being able to send a text or check X without moving all of my focus off my setup has been great.
