Changed my Google Docs BG color to #FFFCF2. Gonna start using lesson #7 for practicing my YouTube videos.

Don't have the money to buy Airpod Maxes yet 🙂

Ha, this post was too real. My bedroom is my office, and too often I think of my bed as my "thinking couch." I'm napping less now, but it was a problem. Also, you are reeeeally tempting me on that keyboard (honest business expense).

Nice little delightful look at your life. I liked this window you offered. Do you find it hard to work from cafes? I find that this is where typically I can be my most productive.

Dude the keyboard is a game changer. I would definitely recommend it. And gah it really depends on the *type* of work. Calls and deep writing...absolutely not. But puttering around on social media content and responding to messages? Most def

(Also thank you for reading!!)

Wow, thank you for actually giving practical, actionable tips in this! I've been searching for a fidget toy for YEARS that doesn't fall apart or break, and somehow I never thought of silly putty. I'll def be trying that out. Thanks for all the other recs too, much appreciated!

This is great! Been thinking about a fancy keyboard for a while and this might have just tipped the scales. Don’t need much convincing for an impulse purchase… But if it works👀

Oh, I do chew gum. Only Doublemint. And I read that it stimulates the brain, so now I feel good about it.

Thanks for the photo booth tip. I get nervous talking with people- great way to 👀 and hear what they do.

Love all these tips! I am a HORRIBLE cuticle picker and have never found anything that satisfies that tick so I am definitely going to try this putty!

A “Clacky” manual keyboard is high on my list. Also, I lost my AirPods Pro two weeks ago and my whole world has come to a grinding halt 😂
