Desk Obsessed: Emily Ley

Emily Ley’s Desk Obsessions

I’m super excited to introduce you to our fourth Desk Obsessed interview post! Today is all about my crazy talented and powerhouse of a friend, Emily Ley! If you haven’t heard of Emily, then you have been living under a rock and it’s time to get out and order yourself a Simplified Planner. 

Emily and I go WAY back. We met years and YEARS ago at a conference and have been friends ever since. We’ve even been in a Mastermind Group together, and she’s my go-to girl for all of my big business questions. My texts to her often look like this: “HELPPPPPP!!” Not only is she a good friend, but she’s one heck of a business lady and momma.  I’m honored to have her here and featured in our Desk Obsessed series today!

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did! 

The Q&A:

2. Coffee or Tea? 

3. Do you work from home, an office, or a shared space?

4. What’s your go to pen or pencil? 

5. Are there snacks or treats within arm’s reach of your desk?:

Not usually, but during busy times, I’m a candy-fiend. Gummy bears are my candy of choice.

7.What three things on your desk keep you on track and inspired?

1.  A photo of my three kiddos – each a miracle in his or her own way. This reminds me why I do the work I do.
2.  My Simplified Planner – born from a very overwhelming time in my life, it inspires me (gives me a pinch-me moment) every time I see that little dream come true.
3.  A notepad my grandmother gave me. She passed away a few years ago, but she taught me my faith and I miss her daily. I’ve never written on it. 🙂

9.What’s 1 random thing you always have on your desk?

Someone’s legos or toy cars always end up on my desk. The other day, I looked up and there was a Darth Vader sticker right smack in the middle of my iMac screen.

10. What’s your go to resource?

Asana. It’s a project management system my all-remote team of 7 uses to stay in touch all day. It’s fantastic. Also, iMessage on my computer.
