15 workspace hacks to get your creative juices flowing

Standing Desk - The ability to move throughout the day helps keep the tempo up and the creative juices flowing. Pro-tip=Stand for meetings, sit for research/entry/focus.

The Right Chair - I, like most, have been through who knows how many computer chairs at this point. The best I have found is my current chair, a Secret Lab Titan. I still do not feel comfortable with what I have invested in this chair but an investment it is. I can state without a doubt that I have received a durable, stylish, comfortable, ergonomic, adjustable TOOL to enable me to do my best work. So far, it is only slightly worse for wear from my toddler's savage attacks with one of my pens.

Chrome Cast - If you are traveling and need another monitor, it is easy to cast to a chrome cast to use any TV with an HDMI port in a pinch.

Hour Glass (or like) - If time blindness is a real for you as it is for me, this will help. Just don't look into that sweet stream of mesmerizing sand.

Conferencing Whiteboard - While we all enjoy displaying our accomplishments, a whiteboard behind you to hold live impromptu white boarding sessions will pay dividends.

Fan/Heater - Hard to concentrate if you can't feel your toes or feel the sweat running...

Music - I prefer instrumental as it tends to steal my focus less. I recognize this may not be for everyone but the right music can help almost as much as coffee to elongate focus and provide an energy boost.

Multiple Monitors - being able to work on a high fidelity mock-ups while still being able to utilize enough screen space to reference other content will reduce touch-ups!

Walking shoes - One of the best creative hacks is to shift your focus. Go for a walk. Clear your mind, shift your focus and go back reinvigorated and refreshed!

Equipment you enjoy working with - Reducing the barriers to entry to get from A to B in my creative journey starts with working with equipment that works for me. A favorite pen, a specific style of notebook (I'm on my 5th Nomadic notebook), preferred monitor setup. All of these encourage me to utilize them and help me self motivate to do the things I need to do.

Noise Canceling Headphones - These are a must have in my life. I will never not have headphones for flights and I find it a cause to return home for work if I have forgotten my Bose QC35's when working in the office! Shout out to the earbud market and the massive leaps those have taken.Headphone hairlines are tough to pull off.

Therapy - Kind of left field here but everyone has their own kind of therapy. I prefer mine in 2 wheel form, mountain bikes or dirt bikes. Living in a place where you can receive the therapy that best fits you and allows you to be at your best is the ultimate workspace hack! The ability to ride from my garage to a quality local trail provides my therapy daily!
