The Organized Chaos of a Multi-Tasking Tech Writer: William Gallagher’s Workspace Reveal

William Gallagher, Deputy Chair of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain and a senior editor at AppleInsider, shares his efficient workflow using various Mac apps and tools. His day starts with checking his calendar and to-do list on Fantastical and OmniFocus via his iPhone. He uses Keyboard Maestro macros to streamline switching between different tasks and roles, such as writing, research, image work, and podcast production. A Stream Deck XL is essential for quick access to frequently used features and commands during these tasks. For podcasting, he leverages the Stream Deck to create a shot list and mark edit points. His hardware setup includes a Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless mic, Sony MDR-7506/1 headphones, and a Lexar Go portable SSD with hub for efficient video transfer. Gallagher also relies on a Ugreen 100W charger for all his devices and uses an iPhone 16 Pro Max to stay organized on the go.
