Since then I\u2019ve worked on making my desk and home office a more productive space. I share the office in our apartment with my girlfriend and we keep each other company. Throughout the day, I\u2019ll listen to podcasts, YouTube videos and music while I\u2019m doing design work. I also like to make monthly playlists on Spotify.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s in the desk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iglooletterpress.com\/collections\/2021-calendar\/products\/2021-wood-type-letterpress-calendar?utm_campaign=What%27s%20in%20my%20...%20%3F&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\"><strong>Wood Type Letterpress Calendar by Igloo Letterpress<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<strong>($32)<\/strong>.\u00a0The desk calendar was printed by a woman-owned small business, Igloo Letterpress, in Worthington, Ohio, and the wood stand was handmade by Moore Wood Type.
