I'm split on getting a Dime or one of the SOG batons (q1 and q2 are available near me) for a small edc multitool. The batons have less features, but there's something irresistibly cool about them. https://www.sogknives.

Depends on the nature of the work. In my data entry job, high BPM genres like schranz and hardstyle were a lifesaver - kept me working at a good pace and not falling asleep on the keyboard, but are very distracting for thoughtful work like
