My Workstation 🛠️
This is my workstation! It's one of my favorite parts of my home.
I'll show you around. Everything here serves a purpose!
First, you might notice that in front of my laptop, I have selenite and a vajra. This is a reminder to me to always embrace focus, grace, and healing energy while working.
the notebook to the left is from Tanner Chidester and reads "If you can Dream it, you can do it." Here is one of my many notebooks.
I have two external hard rives, over 4T of storage lol (music production and business building takes a lot of storage space.
My black mirror box you see gets filled with business cards of people who I meet.
Of course I have the dual display because two screens is more space than one. More visual space to create = more space to think = spacious ideas.
Shure SM7B (the same microphone model used by artists like Michael Jackson) I use this to record music, my voice, voice overs, and anything else involving vocals.
My iPhone stand, invention you see is actually a combination of an iPhone stand I bought from Amazon connected to a granite slab that I have from a counter top sample. I find it handy because I can bring my iPhone everywhere in my home (and beyond) with it feeling more conscious. I find that this reminds me to consciously use my iPhone rather than getting sucked into my iPhone. Other habits I find helpful around my iPhone are turning my colors off when I feel overstimulated, keeping my phone on the stand all day, no matter what, and using the iPhone mirror feature on my MacBook Pro as much as possible.
That way, when I go to iPhone for a specific task, I perform that one task rather than getting sucked into it and distracted by other things I might see on my phone like important but not top priority notifications.
You'll see, next to my external TV display, on the right side I have my Akai professional MIDI keyboard. This is great for making and producing some of the music and soundscapes I am working on now. I have a larger full-size Yamaha piano that I also use for MIDI downstairs.
The notecard just next to the MIDI piano says "07 Engaged" with a beautiful design of NBC tower, here in Chicago. NBC Tower is right down the street from my home here in Lakeshore East. On an evening stroll one night, I stumbled upon a friend who worked at the front desk overnight here at the tower. Inspired by the imagery of the postcard and the energy of the building, I brought home this postcard as a reminder of the incredible creativity right here in my own neighborhood.
Behind the external display, you see a large blue grid. I've used blue painters paint because it not only is easy to take off the wall, but blue is one of my favorite colors, while also being the color of intuition. I am a strong believer in allowing your intuition to guide you on your path in life. You'll see I've organized this calendar different than a "traditional" calendar. Each week is a vertical column, with Sunday at the top of the column and Saturday at the bottom row of each column. Left to right, I have each week. The nice thing about using post-it notes and tape, is that it is easily changeable, versatile, and moveable if and when the space needs to evolve!
To the right of the calendar, got to have the panel lighting. I have some large pieces of wood in the corner for large artistic projects that I'm building right now. More to come on those soon!
Photos of my grandmother live at the top right of my calendar, reminding me that I draw inspiration for my work from her and my family.
Off to the far right side, I have pink post-it notes on the column of friends to connect with soon.
And on the right side of my desk, I have some wonderful journals, both new and old.
Thats the tour of my desk!
You see, everything to me has meaning, is vibrant, and serves a very specific functional purpose in my mind and creations.
I know this was long winded, but I'm a believer of sharing it all, because I'm not sure what you might learn from me by reading this, or what you may be inspired by while you read!
On the flip side, you might have ideas for me on how I can better optimize my workstation based on your experience!
For now, I would LOVE to see about your work station! Share a photo or some photos and as much as you'd like to share about your favorite spot to work. Whether thats in your home, or somewhere else!
Love in all directions.
Charles
