Hey everyone! Hiratchi here!

Man, desk work really is a test of physical endurance, isn't it? Why is sitting in a chair so exhausting? Your brain is running at full power, and your eyes are glued to the screen... To be totally honest, we all have plenty of days where we think, "I can't focus at all today!" or "My eyes are so dry and twitchy..."

Well, I've got great news for you all! I'm going to share some game-changing items you should definitely keep at your desk! With these, your focus and productivity will shoot through the roof, guaranteed!

Great for when you want something to snack on or need a quick mental refresh!

Ever have those moments like, "Ugh, my brain feels foggy..." or "I can't take in any of these words..."? Times like that call for these!

1. Glucose tablets (The ultimate weapon for focus!)
Seriously, this stuff is fuel for your brain! When you're tired and losing focus, just pop one in your mouth and—boom! Magic! Your brain instantly snaps right back to life.
I also love Ramune candy and eat it all the time!

2. High-cacao chocolate (A little treat while working!)
It's not just regular chocolate! The high cacao content is key. Cacao polyphenols or whatever are supposed to be great for you. You'll have to Google the details though, haha!
When it's too early for lunch but your stomach is rumbling... just eating one piece holds off the hunger nicely.
You might notice Chelsea candy snuck into the picture too, but I like buying different candies to suck on depending on my mood!

Have you ever tried this 95% dark chocolate? It's pretty bitter—less like candy and more like a healthy luxury item!

Computers and smartphones are super convenient, but paper and pen are still king!

1. A high-capacity notepad (A fountain of ideas!)
To anyone thinking, "Wait, a notepad in this day and age?"—you're way behind the times! The notepad I use is insanely thick with tons of pages. It's practically dictionary-sized!

When taking urgent phone calls or trying to map out how a chunk of code works, you end up constantly drawing diagrams, arrows, erasing stuff... a lot of times there's just too much information for digital tools to keep up with. With this notepad, you can scribble down even the most complex ideas! Whenever my brain feels cluttered, writing things down clears it up right away—it's seriously a godsend!

2. Frixion Pen (Write and erase, complete freedom!)
What you should definitely pair with that notepad is a Frixion pen! Isn't the ability to erase what you've written totally game-changing?

I personally love using the 0.38mm Frixion.

Also, that gray pouch in the middle... turns out I accidentally left my THETA 360 camera sitting in it~

It lets you take wide 360-degree photos and videos!
