Lisette: I can imagine it’s good for thinking, you know. I like it like this and I have a small basketball because I’m a big fan of basketball and a small basketball, like a really small one, which I just stand to shoot but every two, three hours just be in motion, just do something, you know, stand up again, and just move some energy here. So I use this for example to sit down with my iPad and then read there. So actually what I try to do is I try to alternate between sitting and standing when I work, right? Right now, when we’re talking, I’m standing and when I’m writing, I try to stand because I just feel more in motion, more in action mode, you know, when I stand, but I also like to when I read or something, I have a small couch, just behind me. They fixed it fortunately but it’s…so then I read on the internet that this kind of desk breaks, tends to break, but anyway I like it because it’s a stand-up desk that you can lower down as a sit-up. I mean, before I recommended it a lot but now it broke down. Michael: Yeah, and so I have a stand-up desk. Then of course, if you want to get a coffee, you have to go down and go up again so you think twice, so that’s why I don’t drink that many coffees anymore, which is good for my health. Before that, when I was living in a different house, I was in the middle floor and then people go to your place more often. So people in the family will have to just get out and climb up to interrupt me.
It’s on the top floor which is good because it’s on the top floor so actually if you want to interrupt me, you have to climb up. So, I really believe in incremental improving and every year of doing a review of my home office and then seeing what works, what doesn’t, and so now at this point, I have a dedicated room in our house.
I already changed the furniture and the setup of this virtual office like three or four times now. So, it changes almost every year but even now, I’ve been living this house for three years now. There’s a whole series…like…I mean, it can go back in time to when I started setting it up, when I was in a small apartment sharing it with my wife and my kids and then we moved to a bigger place and then bigger house. Like every year, almost, I change a little bit my virtual office.

So, actually on my blog I have a series of blog posts. I’m really excited for the first question because I know you’re going to have an interesting answer which is, no pressure of course, what does your virtual office look like?
