Thrift store lamps picked up from weekend markets in Berlin

Mood Makers
I like looking at them when I am zoned out or seeking creativity:
My small but mighty guitar pedals (NUX, MXR Fullbore metal, TC Electronic Ditto Looper)
A red leather test cricket ball (I use it to rubber duck or be stupid and break things in the house)
Vic Firth drumstick that I caught at a live Meshuggah concert
Most used apps
Figma & Canva (design)
Notion & Apple notes (writing, productivity)
Android Studio & XCode (code editing)
ChatGPT & Playgroundai (ai tools)
Capcut & Veed.io (video editing)
Garageband (audio editing)
Youtube & Spotify (music)
What is your favorite item in your workspace?
I love my monitor bar lamp. One of the cheapest upgrades that I have made and one of my most recommended ones.
How do you spark creativity?
I am trying to fully embrace Ed Sheeran's approach to creativity. So, just let it all flow out.
