A Day in the Life of a Software Engineer - Working From Home - Norway

This video is a realistic day in the life of a software engineer. I am currently working from home in Norway, and I just wanted to share with you what my day really looks like.

I'm giving you a behind the scenes perspective on my meetings, how I write notes, stay organised and productive using my iPad. I am sharing with you my daily routine, what I eat, and how I spend my free time.

My Gear
=========

Laptop

My current laptop is the 2019 MacBook Pro, but I just found out that I will be getting the new 2021 M1 MacBook Pro from my company, so I am very excited to show you my unboxing and setup in the coming video.

Tablet

I am using the iPad Air 2020, with the Apple pencil 2. I love this device, and I use it to take notes, read, study and I even used it to make this video. Such a fantastic and enjoyable thing to use. My main note taking and sketching app for the iPad is Concepts, and my main drawing app is Adobe Fresco.

Phone

I use the iPhone 13 Pro, and I love this phone. Parts of the video when I am outside have been filmed with it. I love it for its camera and battery life. You can also watch the full review on my channel.
