When I want to do personal projects, I switch to my beloved 12-inch MacBook (they don't make them this small anymore 🥲) via a single USB-C cable, connected to a big ole Dell monitor.
For my mouse-ing needs I use a large Wacom Intuos Pro tablet.
For reading and sketching I really like my reMarkable tablet.
These days I have a Røde lapel mic, which is a little cleaner, but honestly, not that much.
For headphones I have Status Audio CB-1s: they're high quality cans that are also super affordable.
For Bluetooth audio I have some Pixel Buds, and they look cute and work great, but I'm of the opinion that you can't beat wired.
Productivity
For personal projects, I use Trello for everything.
Browser
For my day job I work as an interaction designer on Google Chrome's security and permissions teams.
