Here's what I have at my desk:

  • Huge cup for water (with a lid!)
  • Pens and Sticky Notes: to-dos and notes
  • Fidget cube :when reading or thinking, it keeps my free hand off my face
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Hand lotion: offices are cold and dry out my hands

My #1 tip is to write down "brain clutter" It's just a sticky note once a day that I write down all the "background processes" that are going on in my brain. Like "are we out of eggs?" "My sister's birthday is coming up" "I'm excited about Star Wars". It's not a to-do list or anything. Just writing them down really helps me focus. It's like garbage collection for my cortex!

I want a hardy plant at some point.
