What’s up guys?
It’s Aileen.
Today I thought I’d show you a quick little tour of my desk.
This is where I work almost all the time.
Somebody requested that I do a
“How to Organize Your Study Desk” video so I thought it would be a fun thing to show
you
where I work, how I organize my things, and where the magic happens.
First of all, this chair that I’m sitting in is like my favorite chair ever.
I talked about it on my November Favorites video.
It’s just so comfortable and so sturdy,
I can sit here all day and not get tired of it.
Usually right in front of me, I have my laptop.
I do all my work here, blah, blah, blah: laptop.
To my right I usually have my planner.
This is my Muji 2016 planner.
This is what I use
to get an overview of what I have to do this week.
Here I put things I have to do
during the week.
And here I put what I need to focus on, what my goals for the week are.
Over here I have a notepad of my daily to-do list.
This is where I put down
everything that I need to do during the day, starting from most important to the least
important.
I had an original notepad that came with this cute little clipboard and I ran out of that
paper,
but I found a new notepad to go with it.
I really enjoy having my daily to-dos.
When I’m done I just rip it off, throw it away, and then start out the next day.
Here is an acrylic stand that I got off Amazon.
It’s actually bigger than I’d like
but I bought it, so I’m gonna use it.
Here I have “What I Know For Sure” by Oprah,
this is one of my favorite books.
I just keep it here because it gives me good vibes,
and I enjoy reading the quotes from here.
This is a notebook that I use to take notes
on meetings and calls and video ideas, just random thoughts.
This is my morning pages notebook, if you guys have watched my morning pages video.
This is maybe my 7th or 8th morning pages composition notebook.
I love morning pages.
And back here I just have some scratch paper.
It’s really cute.
This is from when I was
in elementary school.
I found it and I like it, and I just use it when I need to use scrap paper.
Here I keep my collection of Muji pens.
I absolutely love Muji pens.
This is like half of my collection, but these are my most used pens.
I like switching up the colors whenever I do morning pages and that kind of thing.
I have some scissors, Sharpies, highlighters, and a ruler, just for my writing needs.
Here’s a candle that my friend Jazz made.
You guys might know her as “Life by Jazz”.
It says “Love over fear”.
I don’t really burn candles, but just the saying makes me happy.
It’s a really nice reminder to keep on my desk.
This is a cell phone holder that I got from Japan.
It’s made from a really light wood.
I bought it at a street market.
I thought it would be cute
to put post-its in there and be organized in that way.
Over here I keep a post-it that says:
“The action is here.”
It’s just a little reminder for myself to focus on the present moment
and handle the work that I have in front of me.
If you guys listen to “Magic Lessons”,
the podcast by Elizabeth Gilbert, you’ll know where this is from.
This is just a saying that inspires me and empowers me to get to work.
Over here I have this new diffuser.
It’s a yuzu citrus fragrance diffuser by Bloom.
I just got this a couple days ago but I’m obsessed with the smell.
It really smells so fresh
and sweet, and it makes me very energized and excited to work on my desk.
This is my lamp.
It’s an LED lamp that I really love because of its shape: it looks like a lily flower.
I talked about this in my November Favorites so you can check it out there as well.
And there you have it: a tour of my study desk or work desk.
I will post the links
to where I got everything in the description so if you’re curious, you can check it out
there.
Thank you guys so much for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one.
Bye!
