The CK Daily – What are your desk essentials?
Happy Monday
And for you Presidents out there, happy President’s Day! Sorry, not sorry, but I couldn’t resist a little Dad joke there. This holiday sort of snuck up on me and it looks like the kids are out of school for the next 3 days! I don’t remember ever getting that many school days off when I was a kid for President’s Day. We don’t have anything actively planned, but I do envision a couple of trips to the park and playground if the afternoons are nice enough. Lately, it’s been very cold. In Georgia, the weather gets a little unpredictable this time of year, you could go from warm to mild to the next day being cold and rainy and then a few days later back to warm.
Over the weekend we did a couple of cleanup chores around the house. Some long neglect things that we’ve been putting off due to business and scheduling issues. It feels absolutely great to get those things done and out of mind and out of sight. Getting things cleaned up and organized gives me a sense of satisfaction and allows me to relax better. For example, I noticed that if I have a cluttered desk then my mind is usually cluttered. I try to keep what’s on top of my desk to a bare minimum with the essentials – my coffee in a CK mug, my CK coaster, my desk pad, and my phone. (alongside my computer and monitors of course). I suppose it helps me be less visually exhausted and distracted.
What type of things do you like having on your desk? I know some people like to have a pen and pad ready to write down thoughts with, for me I’m purely digital. I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

When you’re planning a network, you usually think about the equipment you need and how you can connect it. That’s already plenty to consider, but it turns out that your responsibilities run deeper than that. You also have to think about safety.
