About work tools

Hello.
This is Aoyagi.

I recently noticed something by chance.
The importance of work tools has become something we take for granted because we use them every day.

I was relying on it unconsciously, but it was a great source of support.

I think everyone has different tools for work.

Because of my job, I often work in different locations, so here are four things that are essential for me.

1. MacBook

I first got it when I was 19 or 20 years old.
I remember it was the first model of the MacBook Air.

Even though I wasn't doing much work, I bought it on impulse (lol).

When it starts to malfunction, I buy a new one, but I always feel a bit sad.
Even if it's the same MacBook, it feels strange if it's not my own.

I use that much every time.

2. PC case

This is my PC case that protects my beloved MacBook.
Upon further investigation, I discovered that it was a product released in 2011.
I've been using it for over 10 years.

It's starting to show signs of wear, so I'm thinking it's time to change it.
I get attached to it, and it's a personality trait that's hard to change.

3. Mouse & Mouse Pad

It can be difficult to do things with a trackpad.
Depending on the table, the mouse may not respond well, so a mouse pad is essential for me.

I'm an impatient person, so I always move the mouse at maximum speed (laughs).
The scrolling is also set to the opposite of the default, so sometimes when other people use my mouse they're like, "What is this?" (laughs).

4. Beats by Dre Earphones

I received it as a gift from a colleague at work (thank you!).

With this, you can instantly respond to sudden online meetings when you're out and about.

Also, I'm the kind of person who can't live without music, so it's essential.
When I'm trying to concentrate on work, I spend a lot of time wondering, "What song should I listen to while I work?" (laughs).

In an age where you can work anywhere...

While it is convenient to be able to work anywhere, there are pros and cons to it, such as the tendency to work procrastinating and a lack of communication due to less face-to-face interaction.

I try to be careful every day not to lose my sense of balance.

Just as these four items are important to me, I'm sure everyone has their own preferences when it comes to work tools.

Work tools naturally reflect the personality and values ​​of the person using them.

What are your most important work tools?
