How I do what I do — I sit, properly.

I work full-time as Technical Director for a business transformation consultancy specialising in the bespoke design, implementation and management of automation solutions utilising the DocuWare DMS, integrating with various ERP packages for example SYSPRO, Oracle Netsuite, Epicor, Sage 200 etc.

My desk is neat, I like it that way. It is where I spend 80% of my day at work and they do say that a tidy desk = a tidy mind!.

There are things I can’t live without and things that just make my desk a friendly and productive place.

So I hear you ask, what’s on my work desk? Well, worry not because this list below is the perfect setup IMHO.

PC Specialist bespoke build 15" Windows 11 Pro laptop with 16Gb RAM

Twin Illuminated Speakers, Acer KA2 monitor positioned on a laptop and monitor stand elevated above my desk.

Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.

My IPAD Air from 2015 (yes, retro but I use it mainly for watching YouTube videos, Udemy course work and using Obsidian).

My personal HP Pavilion laptop which I mainly use for early morning Bible study with the fantastic Logos software on.

Wireless iPhone charger

Fitbit Versa2 charger. My FitBit never leaves my wrist — it’s invaluable to ensure I get my steps and burn those calories daily!

My moleskin notebook. I am a retro note taker. I use my digital devices for in-app notes/reading (Kindle) notes etc. but I love to have a notebook and write things down as they occur to me, mostly over coffee!

My home desk looks very similar but with the iPad swapped for a Kindle 10 Fire because well, Kindle books and Audible.

What’s on YOUR desk?
