Aside from the usual items (computer and monitor), these are the 4 (okay, 5) essentials that help me stay focused while I work: 1. My vision board. I made mine and had it printed directly from @canva, and it helps me stay focused on MY big picture when my mind begins to wander. I’ve also had really good experiences with @canvasondemand. 2. My time cube. Even though I use the @forest_app on my phone, I keep it face down when I’m in a focused work session and prefer to use the time cube to see how much time I have left in my block. 3. This large @moleskine notebook, where I have my weekly brain dump (I do the week’s to-do list on a Sunday and block off the tasks in my calendar, but I like to keep the week’s plan out so I can cross off tasks as I finish them and add new ones as they come up). 4. I don’t know what it is about @hotellobbycandle’s Spa scent, but it locks me into focus mode. My workday starts with turning on the candle lamp and ends with turning the lamp off. Because it’s winter, I also have my seasonal affective disorder lamp and keep it on during the first few hours of my workday. What are your desk essentials to stay focused?
