Workspace is everything. A lot of energy went in to making this workspace exactly what I envisioned. There are still a few minute details I am working on, but overall I am in love with my space.
My husband, Matthew, built this desk after I simply outlined what I needed in a desk and things I wanted, but weren’t necessary. He made everything possible with his imagination and two hands. After building my desk, he quickly learned he wanted one as well, so you can see we now have matching facing desks and I could not be happier.
Technology is key. As you can see, I love a good double computer situation. My MacBook Pro goes with me everywhere and I love that I also have a Mac desktop for when I need a larger screen to work on those database projects.
Hand & wrist health is very important to me, so you will also see my super cool ergonomic mouse. After having a bout of wrist problems for the last several months, it was time to find at least an aid for my wrist issues. Not only is it better for your wrist than using a trackpad or a flat mouse, I can also toggle between my two computers with ease.
After the necessities, it’s time to decorate! Color, life, positive sayings & some of my favorite reminders of why I do what I do are always on my desk.
When looking for a quote about plants and flowers, I stumbled upon Borges quote and I’ve never resonated with anything more. Admin Angel Life is exactly that. We created our business because we cannot wait for someone else to have what we want. We cannot rely on other’s dreams to fulfill our own.
I wasn’t always a flowers girl. You can ask my husband. Only in the last few years has he sent me flowers on Valentine’s and our anniversary. I wholeheartedly believe life is too short to wait for someone to send you flowers. If you love flowers, buy them, grow them, smell them. Carry this throughout life – don’t wait on someone else, create your own life by design.
I LOVE plants though. Most of the plants we have, are because we have inherited them. I come from a family of green thumbs and it never fails that my mom will send me home with cuttings from plants of her own. The Peperomia on my desk is actually from Trader Joe’s and you will be sure to see it in the future days on our social media.
Notepads are necessary. And so are good pens. You can buy the best colored ink pens at Amazon with the link below. When working in the administrative field, you are the keeper of all the things. If you’re like me, you remember best when you write it down. This is just one of many notepads on my desk. I also use a full letter sized notepad for a full list of tasks.
Travel notebooks are also a must. My travel notebook goes with me everywhere. Because I can work from anywhere in the world, I love a solid bound notebook to keep all my ideas & todos. I go through about one of these books a year and purposefully start a new one each year. These books are like my guides to life. I can remember writing things down and I am able to quickly reference later, if need be. I like starting a new book each year, so I can look back on previous books to see how much I’ve grown in all avenues of work, leadership, and personal.
Now you know where the magic happens.
