Four books to read on your rest days. One will make you want to run further, two will fix how you breathe and sleep so you recover better, and one is simply the best sports story ever written. Motivation and marginal gains in equal measure.
Four books that genuinely change how you think and work. Kahneman on how your mind fools you, Newport on doing work that matters, Clear on the tiny habits that compound, and Hadfield on staying calm when the stakes are literally astronomical.
A no-nonsense trio for fast-paced games: a light, high-DPI mouse, a smooth pre-lubed mechanical board and a comfortable headset that will not cook your ears mid-session. Chosen for feel and reliability over RGB for its own sake.
Everything a first-time producer needs to record vocals and program beats at home. A class-compliant interface, a studio condenser and a live-workhorse dynamic cover every mic'ing situation, while the mini-keys controller and analogue drum machine get ideas down fast.
The three books I wish I had read before my first coding job. One teaches you to write code other people can live with, one takes you deep into JavaScript itself, and one is the timeless field-guide to being a professional. Read in that order.
