About this video
This isn't the studio — it's the spare-room office where admin, scripting and calls actually happen. After two years of tweaks, five gadgets earned permanent status here.
From the noise-cancelling headset that survives neighbour renovations to the footrest I mocked until I tried it, each pick solved a real annoyance. I explain the problem first, then the fix — so you can steal only what you need.

Creator tip: upgrade your call audio before your call video — colleagues forgive a soft image instantly, but tinny audio ends conversations.
