A little tour through my new work-from-home office, from which I work both on videos for this channel and on my PhD. Its a recording space, writing space, and gaming space all in one spare room. For the first time, I am sharing an office space with someone else (other than our cats), and this is how we ended up making choices for tech, furniture, and room layout.

![I tried Blinkist so you dont have to | Blinkist Review [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LgIF2psUVn4/hqdefault.jpg "I tried Blinkist so you dont have to | Blinkist Review [CC]
My honest review of Blinkist, the app that claims to impart the key messages of nonfiction books in 15 minutes of audio, allowing you to read more books in a short amount of time. Ive seen advertisements for Blinkist and similar book summary apps for a while, so I decided to test it for myself. Is it worth it?
