Liam Biggs's Desk

Liam Biggs aka CazuaLLUK runs a technology channel on YouTube.

With Liam, Desk Hunt gets a lot of first times: first tower setup, first windows setup, first YouTuber interviewee.

Let’s take a look.

Who are you and what do you do for a living?

My name is Liam Biggs and online I go by the alias of CazuaLLUK, which is also the username for my YouTube channel & social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). As a full time job I change Gas & Electric meters for a big UK energy firm during day hours. As my second job after hours and at weekends I run a YouTube channel and also have various marketing and social media contracts.

Can you tell me something about your desk setup?

I live in a flat so my setup is in my living room so I am limited for space so yes to some my desk may look quite busy and cramped, but for me it works. It has everything I need to complete my day to day tasks but also has the potential to fulfil anything I may need to do.

Is there anything you would like to improve on this setup?

For now I am totally happy, the happiest I have been in a long time about my desk setup.

Do you switch workspaces during your day? If yes, what’s the reason behind it?

I work from my desk in the evenings or weekends. But sometimes I move to working from the sofa or my bed with my MacBook Pro Retina or my MacBook air. I find macs are so much more enjoyable and relaxing to use, so much more productive.

Can you tell us something about the items on your desk?

I love the monitor risers, they create extra room in my setup which is super handy considering the overall room I have to play with. I also love the headset hangers on the shelf, as I review products on YouTube these are super handy for easy access to headsets or headphones that I am currently reviewing.

What are you doing to stay focused?

To be honest, I have so much going on in my life and my jobs that I rarely focus, but when I have to I also where my monitoring headphones to try and black out the hustle and bustle around me.

Is there something on your desk which helps you stay focused? What is it?

To be honest due to lack of room I tend not to put un-needed items on my desk. I like to keep it as clean and clear as it can be.

What was your latest self-improvement experiment?

100% this was to work with NVIDIA to build a partnership to build my new PC which allows me to render videos faster and multi-task even more. But on a personal level I would say is that I have 3-4 documents on my PC that I use to keep me in check, and up to date with stuff that I must do on a daily basis.

Where do you see yourself and your desk in the next 5 years?

Well next year, I and my young family plan to move out to a house. Hopefully we can dedicate some space to an office for me. So I don’t know what it will be like yet, but I will overcome this sometime in the near future!
