I am a person that can't concentrate. It's really annoying during tests and exams. Especially the ones that are important to school and my future. And with all the stress at school, the way for me to relax at home and escape all the stress and homework is gaming. Playing some sims is really relaxing depending on how you play. :)

Because of my anxiety, I tend to prefer working remotely and having my humidifier on, some chilled out music and I also have a calming light show in my room to mimic traffic lights, the sunrise or just a general colourway depending on my mood. So being a part of this #ergonofis giveaway will be something I'd love to win and help me keep that calming vibe carrying on into my new home office that I'm trying to build.

wow thank you so much for sharing, maisy. i feel like there aren’t enough conversations or recognition for women in the CS field so thank you for bringing more awareness. something i do to stay productive is being honest with myself of what my mind & my body needs (breaks, food, stretch, etc). moreover, i like to release a lot of stress by catching up with friends. having a support system is super important and i never realized the importance of community until i had it. last, sometimes watching a really sad movie or scene goes a long way to relieves me of anything that holds me back!

@kennycheng3994 2 жыл бұрын

First off I want to say that I love your cozy setup and how much warmth that it brings to me every time I watch your content! For me how I stay calm and productive is that every morning before I walk over to my setup to get ready to get my day started I always make myself a green tea latte. I feel that making myself a green tea latte brings me so much enjoyment and peaceful feeling drinking something soothing. When I walk over to my setup I make sure I have my blinds on my window turned so I can get some natural sunlight lighting up in my space. First thing getting to my space is I make sure to make a to do list for the day so I can have a calm mind and not have to think about what I have to do for the day while I work. Then when I have everything set I put on something chill music like lofi and start work. Currently I've been listening to the three hour Animals Crossing sound track while I'm working throughout the day as it provides productivity and calmness while working. I do sit all day working on the computer so this give away would help me stand and stretch my legs while still being productive and helpful to my back :) #ergonofis

I love this! As a girl who spends literally 18 hours a day at my desk, working full-time as a Programmer while studying Finance part-time on night classes and weekends on a scholarship it is very difficult to get enough movement into my day. I have insane neck pain and migraines sometimes, so I believe being in having the right environment and setup is key to improving your health and productivity. So what actually makes me calm and productive is cleaning up my setup! Creating a clean and calm space at the end of every night is soothing. Plus having a setup that I like and can work efficiently is a dream. it's great to see other Asian women owning it in the digital field. #ergonofis

Thank you maisyleigh! You really taught me that it’s ok to express my identity towards others despite what they say about me. As a gay male I face a lot of homophobia from my peers and over these past two years I’ve been trying to change the way I am just so they’d accept me. But you taught me that’s it’s ok to be who I am and to be strong regardless of whatever I face.

I work in education in CS & IT and love seeing a strong female example who isn't afraid to make her work space pretty and feminine - even if it requires a bit more work to customize. I hope to put something similar together for myself with the #ergonofis setup. As a CS teacher, having a space where I enjoy spending time is vital. The right music is my go-to calm and productive strategy right now, but I hope to up my game with some aesthetic improvements over the next few weeks.

I hadn't decorated my space much over the pandemic just because it didn't feel very permanent to me and I didn't really want it to be. But when I realized I was going to be working from home on a more permanent basis, I decided to really make the space mine, and my number one consideration was calmness. I painted my walls a calming light sage green, bought new window coverings so I could enjoy the light coming through my windows, and introduced some plants into the space. The only space that isn't really calming is my desk. I'm figuring out what to do with my monitor (to mount or not to mount?) and how to organize my work, since I didn't have a dedicated space for it before. Right now, to stay calm and be more productive, I take timed breaks when I work so I can go away from my desk and sit somewhere more comforting. I also try not to push myself too hard, since I'm splitting my time between working and studying for the LSAT. Wish me luck!! #ergonofis

Thank you for creating these types of content. It really helps inspire me to upgrade my workspace and calm me down after work. My job is mostly helping clients solve their problems in the property rental market. Therefore, I experience a lot of stress. It is quite important for me to not get railed up when customers are angry and frustrated. At work, I would listen to music that keeps me in a positive mindset. And at home, I try to destress and not think about things from work. Watching youtube videos like yours and indulging in my other hobbies really helps. RBG light strip really helps the transition as well (especially when I work from home) - at work, the lighting is natural and white light. Coming home to a playful rainbow colour setting help me transition out of work mode too. Being able to relax is one of the best things to keep one motivated and productive. I am the type of person who would beat myself up when I make small mistakes and work myself to the bone because as per "Traditional work values". When I need encouragement to deal with the outside world and cut myself some slack, I would say to myself, "Why not" and "So what" ;) Hope my experience is helpful too. #ergonofis

I love to light candles, only use soft lighting from lamps, and play atmospheric music from videos on KZfaq to set a calming tone even though my office at work tends to have a more stale feel. Setting the vibe is everything! #ergonofis

This is sick! Some good jazz, blues or ambient music keeps me calm and productive no matter the weather! All the best.

Another great video! Cozy, calming, and fun as always. That was so cool and admirable to share your experience and ways to empower women in the same field and in general as you. You're opening doors! As a male, I've been finding myself subscribing and or following more women's creative channels. Whether that's on Twitch, KZfaq, or Instagram, there is a different energy. Something seems a bit more inclusive, a different perspective, a different presentation, and I enjoy supporting those hobbies that I also can relate to from a creative point of view. I like to think we’re all more alike than we know. At the same time, so much to learn from each other. As human beings, I like to think we all compliment each other. I have 3 sisters who I want to continue to set an example for and listen to and learn from.

I love to have some calm music playing in the background. I also love natural light and having some fresh air flowing into the room. That keeps me awake and productive. I also love having small figures and plushies around to lift my mood. Thank you for the video! #ergonofis

as someone who suffers from add, staying calm makes or breaks my day. I try to surround my workspace with plants and scented relaxing candles. i also have a big whiteboard on my left that acts as my to-do list and brain dump. writing things down instead of worrying about them frees a lot of space in my mind for productive work. im moving to a new house soon and your aesthetic is something i would definitely incorporate into my new home :) thank you for making this video. it's lovely! #ergonofis

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I relate to you so much! I'm the only female in my Software Engineering class. It's a struggle sometimes but fortunately, it's a small class and my fellow classmates are more respectful now than they were at the start. I can't wait for the next Design & Code with Me episode. I'm looking to go into UX/UI and I'm definitely learning a lot from you.

Well said Maisy! Love your content and find it really inspiring. I am an Aerospace Engineer during the day but really want to transition in to iOS & UI/UX work, I've realised I am actually a bit more creative than I first thought. Would love to see more videos on your journey so far and the tools you use, and how you use them. Thanks again!

It is so inspiring and uplifting to see another WOC that programs on here. Your whole workspace is so aesthetic and motivating 🥰 I stay calm and productive by setting up my atmosphere with lofi or ambient music, an occasional candle, and a mostly cleared off workspace haha. Thank you for hosting this wonderful #ergonofis giveaway! Can't wait to continue watching your content

I start with meditation + room spray to stay calm. If I don’t feel like studying/write papers (but I have to), I close my eyes and imagine today’s the day my result is out, and I didn’t make it, and the things I will say to beg for a second chance etc. And then I open my eyes and tell myself, now this is your new chance and I start doing my work. This is what works for me recently #ergonofis

Your work station is a dream ! 😍 I love keeping a clean work space. I always try to clean and put everything away where they belong which really helps me have a clear mindset before I start working. The right lighting is also very calming and important to me, the lighting keeps me awake and focus. The problem I have with working at home is the table, it’s hard to sit for a very long time and having an adjustable and right table would be great #ergonofis ! This is such a giveaway for those people who works at home ! Thanks 🙏

I really enjoyed your q&a today. It’s resonated and felt reassuring to me when you said “if you’ve done nothing wrong you don’t have to worry”. I recently decided to go back to school after deciding that me current career path wasn’t quite right for me. To keep me focus and productive on breaks I watch KZfaq videos of people’s daily routine, home makeovers, or cooking videos. Watching other both calms me down and motivates me! #ergonofis

Love your cozy set up! The warm lighting is so inviting✨ I work from home and go to school full time. I’m majoring in Mathematics and love supporting women in other STEM fields. I’m currently taking a CS class as a requirement for my degree and quickly noticed I’m the only girl in the class. Although I’m majoring in another field, I related to what you said about this. I really appreciate your support and motivational words to keep going, so happy I came across your channel. You’ve created such a lovely safe space for us here in the comment section. Love reading everyone’s comments and ways they cozy up their space. Since Im always at my desk, I turn on my diffuser too. I have a few Vitruvi oils but Moonlight is my go to!✨ I also went to Lowes and put up some wood shelves above my desk for plants. It’s my mini tropical plant wall that I love staring at. Anytime Im starting to feel anxious because I’ve been sitting all day, I stare up at them and practice mindfulness. Oh, and Spotify lofi beats are always playing in the background. Definitely recommend Walterwarm’s album Summer Break ✨ Only thing I’d love to invest in is a sit stand desk. That’s actually how I came across your channel recently. I was searching for desk setups and yours really inspired me! It’s exactly the type of vibe and aesthetic Im trying to go for. Keep up the great videos!! Thanks again for sharing all the good vibes! #ergnofis

I’m so inspired by your workspace and we actually have a lot of things in common. I enjoy playing lofi music while I work (or Taylor Swift) and sipping a matcha latte from my Hasami mug. Another big thing is making my space reflect my aesthetic by choosing quality pieces, using neutral colors, lighting a candle or an incense stick. #ergonofis Your content is great and I applaud you for doing it alongside working full time. I think the casual chat format is nice. 😊

I’m in love with your desk set up and work space, by far my favorite I’ve ever seen! ✨ As a college student and aspiring graphic designer, I spend a lot of time at my desk and a standing desk would be an amazing upgrade. Ways I stay calm and productive is maintaining an organized, neat work space, playing a chill lofi music playlist, and turning on some warm lighting for a relaxed ambiance. Obsessed with your channel! #ergonofis 💫

I love you all aesthetic, but not just that, I enjoy seeing people work and perform their best in the wfh spaces. As an architect it’s really reassuring to see how people adapt to spaces and see all the little modifications that work for some. None the less, watching people like you, that put so much effort into being productive, makes me imitate and have my own rituals such as decluttering my space prior starting, having small ambient light and playing some low chill music while I write all my to-dos down. Thank you for inspiring us to be productive while also loving ourselves💕🥰. #ergonofis

Hi Maisy! As an software dev student it’s important for me to stay productive. I do this by having a clean desk, playing nature sounds on spotify and being surrounded by calm colors like pastel, white or creamy colors. Having a to-do list is def a must for me to keep on track of deadlines. I also set a timer every 50 min so I can take my 10 min break (also to stretch my back and legs). I stay calm by lighting a candle with a soft/calming smell. I try to meditate or read a book. Sometimes I stay calm by doing nothing and just sit while listening to background noises. Have a nice day! #ergonofis

Hi Maisy. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I started following you on TikTok and from there I completely loved your vibe and workspace. I'm a Full-Time mama and I used to be in the Ergonomics field- seeing how you organize your life around ergonomics tools is fascinating and there is so much creativity around your space! Espresso and trip-hop music playing in the background are the two besties that keep me productive and calm throughout the day. Staying woke with chill music keeps my energy highly crafty with a focused creative mind. #ergonofis Thank you for inspiring women.

#ergonofis I have a home office where I have 3 different working stations. To me, this helps divide work, school and pleasure. I have calendars, pictures of me and my friends, ambience lights and a comfortable chair. All this helps me focus on doing what needs to be done for the day and relax. Love your videos Maisy!

I just started my 1st job where I can WFH. Not only am I very happy to be in a better work environment where my work is valued, I am excited to add personal touches to my little WFH setup corner. A few pieces I added to an existing desk I hardly used is a warm lamp, a BT speaker to play lofi tunes, and a small vase with fresh flowers. It's not much but it brightens up my space and mood :). Thank you for sharing your space for inspiration #ergonofis

Love love how your workspace is functional yet aesthetically pleasing ✨🌱I try to start my morning right as that sets the tone for the day (Waking up early, doing my skincare and getting ready for the day really helps). When I do work I like to make sure my workspace is clean, have a calm/chill playlist playing in the background and of course a glass of water. If I find myself overwhelm I like to take a break and go outside for some fresh air or do some type of quick workout/stretch to get my mind off of things #ergonofis

I love this video! I work at a tech software company and I spend hours and hours at my desk. I really value my time with myself in the mornings. I always drink a cold class of water with lemon to wake myself up. Then I go into a hot coffee to get going and knock out the emails. My desk area is usually not messy but I def would like to upgrade my style to continue to have that calm environment because my work life can be long or intense. Love the #ergonofis desk!!! Looks like a game changer!

I invested so much into my PC’s hardware and peripherals, but never thought to invest in ergonomics & surroundings until I came across your channel. Your videos have been such an inspiration for me to invest in this area… so I just got a 49” Samsung Odyssey G9! I use it to help me stay productive as the large monitor helps me multitask. The curved, simple shape is so stylish and makes me feel warm, cozy & calm each time I look at it. Thanks, Maisy! 🐱 #ergonofis

I love keeping a cozy work environment. Currently, I am transitioning out of the military and into a career it IT. Being in the military for 9 years, I completely understand what it is like for a woman in a male dominant workplace. Similar comments when going to my appointments like, "is your husband in the military?" I used to be bothered by certain comments, or people trying to put me down at work, but the longer I was in, I started to see this as a challenge to just work harder and let my work speak for itself. I feel as though my experience in the military will definitely help my transition into the IT world. I work a lot from home and have started to invest in a few items to make my home office as enjoyable as possible. I like to have the right lighting, with some candles and plants in the background. I love a clean and minimalistic look - this allows me to stay focused on the task for the day and overall boots my creativity and productivity. #ergonofis
