In this video I’m breaking down my desk set-up for coding, productivity, and creative work—basically the space where I’m trying to build a career (and a life) without losing my mind. I walk through the core IKEA build that makes the whole setup feel clean and functional: the countertop, the legs, and the Alex drawer. It’s simple, budget-friendly compared to a lot of “TikTok desk setups,” and it gives me enough space to lock in on coding projects while still keeping the vibe minimal. I also talk about the monitor choice and the logic behind it, because people always ask. The big thing: only get the gaming monitor if you’re actually getting a gaming PC. If you’re just doing productivity work, there’s a cheaper non-gaming version that makes way more sense. The goal with my setup isn’t to flex gear—it’s to make something that helps me focus, stay consistent, and actually enjoy sitting down to work every day.
