Inside Daniela's Workspace 💻

My favourite item in my workspace / the zoo is my iMac - I used to have a windows laptop with a monitor but since I switched, my desk has never felt less claustrophobic, which is very nice especially with so many pets around. Plus the UX of apple software made me a full apple convert and have since gotten the iPad & an iPhone (somebody please stop me)

To spark creativity I like to stare out the window & note stuff down in a notebook / do some sketches as they come to me. Then when I get to the point that I have more questions than answers I start a googling session & go down some rabbit holes. Repeat until I am happy with the outcome.

I am not great at this, but think I am getting better. It's very hard for me to switch my brain off when I am in the middle of making something & sometimes would end up literally dreaming solutions to stuff BUT physical boundaries are helping - so the only thing that tends to come out of the office is the iPad & I only have "work" emails on my imac + have all my notifications for most apps turned off - this helps a lot with not getting dragged back into work in the middle of a dinner for example. I've also been taking weekends off for a couple years now & this helped with being burned out a lot less often.
