5 simple tips to LEVEL UP your workspace / boost productivity!
You gotta make your workspace work for you 🔁
Here is how my workspace has evolved over about the last 9 years, and why I choose the things I did.
- Created a dedicated office space/room for separation of work versus leisure areas. I couldn’t afford to do this at first but now I can to help me stay focused.
- Bought a 9 foot wood kitchen counter and two drawers from Ikea, in order to DIY a desk that can fit everything I need. Save a little money and reduce friction.
- Added ambient lighting and lamps in order to control the vibes
- Got a chair with arm and back support (I’m getting old)
- Got things like a self-heating coffee mug, and a pomodoro timer to help further reduce points of friction
- Always have at least 2 screens for productivity or to watch something on the side. Habit stacking.
Personally, I’m a software developer, so I need to space that is productive for researching and coding.
It will never be perfect, but I try to make it as frictionless as possible to accomplish my goals.
I took a lot of philosophy from Atomic Habits, a great book about building habits that push you toward your goals, with little changes at a time.
Looking back, it took a long time to find how I wanted my workspace to be, and build up slowly over time (I was brokey broke early on).

    Great story! In short, mine is like; had windows 95, played runescape one it after updsting the 95 to 2000 software; accidently opened the console, surfed through and founf the html; i started copying and pasting stuff and started editing code as well as css (which they also had on RS); but after awhile i was wanting to do more but couldn't figure it out so i stopped analyzing the raw code data. Long story short it took 15+ years later to find resources to learn how to code and now i do tech related work everyday.

    Recently my dumbass discovered that cable modems have max speeds. I should have known this since I been doing this since dial up in the 90's. I've been paying the ISP for bandwidth I couldn't use for probably a year or 2 now. Got a new cable modem and instant improvement. Decided while I was at it I'd upgrade my hand me down Cat5 with some Cat6a, another (much smaller) speed boost. Fairly inexpensive upgrade as well in the grand scheme of a PC build or home network.

      Don’t get me wrong - you are right! For streaming 4k you need that but right now I don’t do any 4k streaming, don’t have a media server with 4k videos, or anything like that. So I’m just saying I rather save the money until I have the need. Now that I’ve wired up, all I have to do is upgrade my ISP plan when I’m ready.

    • @KGcodes

      To me it’s not just about max speed - but also connection stability and quality. Even that max 50mpbs from Netflix can be affected by WiFi interference and/or congestion.

    This deserves more attention, I used to struggle a whole lot with the issue of learning a little of everything or a lot of one thing. I'd also like to add that when you're learning, you should decide to start on a project (of whatever difficulty you are capable of) and learn tools and languages through that, because realistically no project uses any single programming tool/concept, so you learn multiple things, and you learn enough of that skillset to know how to actually effectively use it.
