01Know your desk

Your desk is the whole game. Almost everything you can see is interactive.

4Sticky notePasswords and reminders — check the monitor bezel.

The monitor is where tasks, spreadsheets and messages live; the keyboard is how you type; the phone brings tips from the outside world. The clock sets the rhythm of the day, and every trinket you buy later lands on this same desk.

02Start with small movements

Don't rush. Practise short, controlled moves before you try to cross the whole desk.

Watch the landing

Plan where your head will land before you fling.

Adjust position

Small wiggles beat big throws for precision.

Practice rhythm

Feel the physics — each attempt teaches the weight of your body.

💡 Worm tip: master the small wiggle first. Every controlled inch beats five chaotic ones.

03Do your first tasks

Read the task, find the cell, make the input. That loop powers your whole career.

Spreadsheet illustration

Spreadsheet tasks ask you to type values into specific cells. Read the instruction bar first — it tells you the exact cell and value — then drag yourself to the right key and bump it. Messages arrive the same way: read, then answer.

04Plan your upgrades

Money you earn can make the job easier — or fancier.

Every paycheck can go toward upgrades that speed up work, gym equipment, self-help books, hats, or the L-shaped desk. The promotion path rewards preparation, so keep a cash buffer.
