    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!

I'm also a Front End Engineer still in her second year in university

You really give great representation for women in stem and you're a great role model for kids looking to get into the field. I've been loving your channel for a little bit now I'm striving to become as organized and productive as you! I stay calm by lighting candles, organizing any out of place items when I can, and listening to lofi beats to get into a productive groove! #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.

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 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!

    Creating a space that reflects who you are, I’ve been making small tweaks here and there in my workspace. I do a lot of design work and wanted to get out of the dark and declutter my space. Recently I setup in a bright and airy spot near the window next to plants that brings me joy. Love your videos, stay healthy and keep crushing it! #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!

    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

    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

    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, UA-cam, 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.

    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.

    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 UA-cam videos of people’s daily routine, home makeovers, or cooking videos. Watching other both calms me down and motivates me! #ergonofis

    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 💫

    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 🙏

    Loved the open chat at the end! Needed it more than ever! I’m leaving the medical field in active duty military in about 6 months. This pandemic has completely ruined and exhausted me physically, mentally, and spiritually. So I’ve been racking my brain about what to go back to school for. Computer science has interested me in the past. But i never saw any women in the field. But I’ve been following you for about 3 months now. And what can I say? You’ve inspired me! Wish me luck!

    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

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

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!

  • @143VCHAMBERS

    honestly for me what works for staying calm in my workspace is lighting and lofi music. Mood lighting is key when it comes to creating a relaxed ambiance and having some chill music in the background helps too. As for staying productive, having everything laid out in front of me on my desk pushes me to get my work done. Because the work is always in sight. #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

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

    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
