A Camera-Ready Routine

The goal is to never scramble before a call. Keep a go-to video kit that you can throw on in under a minute:

• A well-fitted solid top in a color you have already tested on camera
• Quick hair and grooming you can do in the mirror beside your desk
• Your seat, light, and laptop left in their proven positions

When the setup is decided in advance, an unexpected meeting costs you a minute, not your composure. The work is in choosing once, not in deciding again every time the camera turns on.
