Transcript
Here are four desk upgrades that made it way easier to stay focused. First is this little cool Pomodoro timer. Each way you flip it, it starts a new timer. I use it for focus work blocks no I can keep my phone out of reach. Then a retractable charging station over here. The cables pull out when I need tier, and then they disappear when I don't. So I'm not working around a pile of cords. I also use a monitor light. It lights the desk without taking up any extra space and it makes the screen so much easier on your eyes for those evening sessions. And finally, this little hidden pullout drawer underneath the yes. All the little things that normally create clutter live in tier, so the actual desktop stays almost completely empty.
