All my favorite things
IN LIFE & BUSINESS
People often ask which courses I’ve taken, which tools & software I use, and which microphone or camera I use to record course lessons or blog posts. I firmly believe in sharing details like that, so now instead of asking me you can check it all out for yourself!

Best built-in webcam privacy cover*
⭐️ What We ThinkStop using post-it notes to cover your webcams & switch to this little gem that is STILL a sticker, but it has a sliding door to open or close the camera lens on a lot of popular devices, like my Macbook Pro (with the “notch”), iPad and iPhone depending on your screen covers.

Timer + cute/cool desk clock*
⭐️ WHAT WE THINKA great (cheap) little clock to stick on your desk that can also be a Pomodoro timer or work like one, if you’re into that.
One thing I’ve learned is that we tend to take the full allotment of time that we give ourselves to complete a given task, and if ya give yourself all damn day, it’s gonna take all damn day. 😂 So if you want something that’s quick/easy to set, that’ll beep at ya when the time’s up, and you can see it counting down, this is a great little attractive gadget to put on your desk.
Comes in about 5 different colors & several different shapes too!

my Flexispot Large Standing Desk* + memory presets
⭐️ What We ThinkThis desk is fantastic! It has a motor that raises and lowers the desktop/tabletop and even has 4 presets that you can set and customize for multiple users or different heights. The motor is pretty quiet, the tabletop is smooth with no cracks or gaps as it comes in one solid piece, and assembly was easy.
I absolutely LOVE my desk! I did a fair bit of research before buying and got almost everything on my wishlist, except drawer storage, but that’s not the end of the world, and still spent less than $300 USD!

my Urevo 3-in-1, Under-Desk Treadmill*
⭐️ What We ThinkI did A LOT of research on what to buy and could not be happier with this one!! Easy to assemble, I saved a ton on the price, and it works so much better than I expected. I can easily walk 1-2mph while doing precise/focused work, or up to 2.8mph while doing basic tasks, watching videos, etc. no problem! I love getting more movement throughout my workday and feel a lot more energy after just 1 week of doing this 1x a day.

Privacy Hood for Logitech C920X*
⭐️ What We ThinkParanoid about professional peepers? This cheap addition to my fav HD webcam just clips onto the face of the camera, with a lid that lifts up & out of the way when you want to use the camera & closes when ya don’t.
