Description

In this episode, I share my essential desk items that actually matter for freelancers, no aesthetic fluff, just practical tools that boost productivity:

• Water bottle: Stay hydrated throughout your workday
• Second screen: Reduce overwhelm and boost productivity with dual monitors
• Desk snacks: Keep trail mix, protein bars, or grapes handy to avoid blood sugar crashes
• Stream Deck: Game-changing productivity tool for creating shortcuts (even has a free mobile app to try first!)

💡 My Pro Tips:

• Prep your lunch the night before to ensure you actually stop and eat
• You don't need fancy expensive tech, I worked on Chromebooks for years
• Treat your brain like a plant: keep it fed and watered
