Working off the phone

Every now and then I remember how Virgil Abloh had created and managed Off White on his phone. It’s always inspired me to get a new iPhone with all the bells and whistles, but I mean I’m definitely not Virgil Abloh.

Instead, today I spent my day working off my iPhone 13 mini because my work is a lot smaller. But at the same time, there’s a bigger dopamine hit from being able to finish so much work on the go, on the phone. It was actually quite satisfying.

On my commute to work, I organized three group meeting dates, I prepped my to do list for the day, and started working on actually setting up the week ahead. On the way back from work, I settled purchase orders and also sent out more coordinating emails.

Maybe design itself would be tough for me to do on the go, but I made my GBA zine on the go, drawing on the iPad whenever I had a moment to. Maybe if my phone was bigger and had an Apple Pencil attached, I might try.

Right now, to end the day, I’m writing this post on my phone, just to bring things full circle. Cheap thrill, but honestly really quite a fun thing to try. Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow and see what happens to my productivity.
