5 questions› What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?
That would be my BenQ monitor and monitor light. My eyesight isn't what it used to be, so the higher-resolution and desk-space illumination have been a real game-changer for me.
› What is one change you'd like to make to your current workspace?
I would say better soundproofing. My office is over our garage, and needless to say, it can get pretty noisy when the garage door opens and closes. Perhaps my first attempt might be to install sound-absorbing panels on my office walls to see if that helps.
› Walk us through your morning routine—what's the first thing you do at your desk?
Since I've prepped for my day the night before, I'm usually ready to start it quickly. I start with my quiet time, devotional, and prayer. I'll then get in my workout (in a large walk-in closet off my office that is now my home gym... yes, I work out in a closet). After I shower, I'll log in and start my day. My schedule is my own, so I can come and go as I need.
› What's one productivity trick that actually works for you?
Uni-tasking and not multitasking. Tackle one project at a time, taking multiple breaks as needed, until the project is done or you reach a logical stopping point. Relax a bit and reset, then move on to your next project. Try to limit yourself to no more than 3 projects or tasks per day. I wish I had followed that advice during my working years.
› What's the most underrated app or tool you use every day?
Even though I love technology, believe it or not, I'm going to say my Ugmonk Analog cards. Of course, any pad and pen will work, but I do my best thinking and planning with an actual pen and paper. That tactile feeling is tough to replicate with digital tools. I like to keep the one card for today sitting on my desk at all times, where I can see it. It keeps me off screens unless it's essential. I guess I'm old school.
