🛋️ How I made my room feel better in 5 minutes

Good morning,

Last Thursday, I took on a new little project. I was feeling a bit restless in my apartment and decided to rearrange some furniture to create a more comfortable and inviting space. After researching a bit online, I discovered the art of Feng Shui and decided to give it a try.

To my surprise, the simple act of turning my desk to face the center of the room instead of the wall made a huge difference in my overall experience of the space. It now feels like I have my own little workstation, surrounded by a cozy nook.

If you're feeling a bit cramped or uninspired in your own space, I highly recommend looking up some Feng Shui tips for arranging your furniture, especially your bed and desk. It’s a small change but it makes a huge difference. Check out the videos I watched for inspiration - they're both educational and entertaining!

Best,

Lou

I have studied a bunch of Korean grammar and stories. I’ll be away in Italy with my family next week, so I won’t have much time for my other studies. I haven’t listened to much Italian lately, I should get back to it!

✍️ Design

I have worked on several website projects a this week. I learnt a lot fo Webflow. It’s honestly amazing what we can do with simple tools and a bit of practice. I especially enjoyed setting up simple animations to make it more unique. These small, but impactful additions, can elevate a website to the next level. I can’t wait to see how I far it can go.

📚 Book

I've been making an effort to read more, and recently started "Never split the difference" by Chris Voss. It's been an interesting read so far and I can't wait to see where it takes me.

📝 Article

I read an insightful article on why purely aesthetic website redesigns can be frustrating for experience designers. Sometimes a pretty illustration doesn’t make sense in the real world of ergonomics.

🎬 TV show

I’ve started watching the Queen’s Gambit. Chess is addictive, but I struggle to find the patience to learn moves. I like to learn through playing. I get back into it from time to time.

What TV show have you been watching these days?
