Inside Thor's Workspace

Being able to live a life that feels focused around living, rather than working.

Meeting people. I am new to Portland, OR. It has been hard to meet people in person without the social construct of an in office job.

Apple Studio Display. It’s a very recent addition, but I am seeing huge benefits in the purchase already. My eyes feel less strained, the color reproduction is great for photo and video editing, and having less wires and hardware on my desk makes it feel peaceful. Yes, it is on the expensive side, but I see it as a long term investment.

By focusing on creative tasks when my mind is best suited for it. I am most creative first thing in the morning or late at night. Also, separating administrative tasks from creative tasks. Generally with an activity, such as a walk or working out.

I start every morning with a walk with my wife. I log onto Slack around 8:30. I usually have my meetings early, due to most of my team and clients living in Europe. I then do my focus work after lunch. Then admin work towards the end of my day. I am a consultant, so my day can be a mix of freelance or agency work. I then workout in the evening, around 6 pm. My day is usually finished with a little TV and reading.
