What Does Your Desk Look Like?

April 23, 2014 By Andrew

I am often asked what a day in my life looks like, and my standard response often feels like I’m dodging the question. However the truth is that what my day looks like really depends on the day. As I manage my solo performance and teaching schedules, Cats Paying Dues rehearsals and performances, my olde tyme jass Quartet, Tap into Freedom programs, as well as other projects (writing, public speaking, collaborations, and new project development), my day is often filled with whatever is most necessary.

Desk-computer
My self-built standing desk. Currently in need of a good cleaning.

Some days I’m in front of my computer for hours – writing emails, creating budgets, updating my website, or designing postcards for upcoming events. I call these work days.

Joria and Shoes v2
My shoes after a session at Joria Productions Studios (NYC)

Other days are spent in the studio. Just me and my shoes – although music and other players often join in the fun.

Desk-plane
Superior leg room on this particular flight. My feet were happy.

Yet other days are spent on the road…plane, train, or automobile.

Desk-Stage
A theatre in Fair Lawn, NJ, before load-in commenced for a presentation of Echoes In Time.

Some days are spent at the venue of a performance, arriving before load-in, and staying through load-out.

Desk-Lap
L.A.P. – the mobile office…

And when I began writing this particular post my desk was simply this, my lap.

With such variation I’ve had to develop a way of working that is both flexible and portable. I’m continually refining my toolkit of high tech project management systems and devices, and low tech note-taking methods. But we’ll talk about those in a later post. Right now I’m wondering, what does your desk look like?
