From Ironing Board to Innovation Hub: Rosdi Annuar's Modern Workspace

Rosdi’s workspace embodies a combination of modern design, minimalism, and practicality. It represents his journey from working on an ironing board to creating a full-fledged home office/studio that serves both work and content creation purposes. His setup is also versatile enough to accommodate his kids doing their homework. Reflecting Rosdi's personality, the space is simple and practical with a touch of luxury.

Favourite Tools:

• Logitech MX Master 3: Enhances productivity, particularly with large spreadsheets, thanks to the horizontal scroll wheel.

• BenQ Halo Screenbar: Reduces eye strain and adjusts lighting to suit the mood.

• Emeet M3 Speaker: Ideal for meetings, allowing him to avoid using headphones or earphones.

What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?

The Jsaux Flipgo Dual Screen Portable Monitor. It is so useful when I need some extra screen real estate without having to permanently have it on my desk and can be easily brought elsewhere for remote working.‍

How do you manage work-life balance?

I’m a full-time Chartered Accountant, husband, and father with two kids. During working hours, I still need to run errands like picking and sending my kids to school. So quite a portion of my contractual hours are taken up by those duties. As a responsible adult, I cover those hours after the kids are asleep. During this time or whenever I have free time, I focus on content creation. I try not to focus too much on it as I still treat it as a hobby, not a job. I prefer to spend my free time with my family.

Any advice for aspiring creators in your field?

Don’t get caught up in trends or flashy products as they can be expensive and impractical for your type of work. Buy only the things that you need, not want. If it is expensive, look for alternatives, and if there are none, you won’t regret saving up for it. Planning and measuring are key to getting it right, and don’t rush the process.
