Workspace: Clean Your Workspace—and Keep it That Way. I like the idea of a "maybe box," kind of like putting an expiration date on the stuff I know I don't need but can't seem to get rid of. The best thing I ever did for my home office was build my own desk. I made it out of pine from Menards, but you could just as easily modify an Ikea.

The idea was, I was going to build a desk that had a storage space for everything I needed to do my freelance work and hobbies. So, I built the desk with storage, cubbies, drawers, and little lift-up semi-secret areas. Then I emptied out all of my boxes, drawers, and one very stuffed closet of crap onto the living room floor. Once everything I needed was in it's place in the new desk, there was only one thing to do with everything left on the floor: Have A Sale!

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the last 30 years I’m pretty sure you know who Bruce Lee was. If you have, then you may be interested to know that Lee was a very famous martial artist and actor who sparked the first big interest of Chinese martial arts in the West in the 60’s and 70’s.

But besides being an awesome fighter and iconic figure Lee also had some very useful things to say about life. Here are 7 of my favourite fundamentals from Bruce Lee. 1. What are you really thinking about today? “As you think, so shall you become.” Perhaps the most basic statement of how we work.

After photographing the subject at equal rotations, it's really just a matter of compiling them all in Photoshop and deciding what to do with them. Spo check out some of what I created using this technique. Above is a pretty straightforward example. Gotta love the pimp cup. Finally, I did one of Rex, the nearly mascot-level toy that's featured in several articles here at theWAREHOUSE.

That's really about it. The End.
