Definitely vouch for Herman Miller. It’s a lot of money but I’ve had my Embody since 2017 and besides needing a clean it’s held up like it’s brand new.

Here’s my minimalist desk setup

I can totally get on board with that note taking paradigm. I use paper for quick notes, or tracking components I touch when building Salesforce, or whatever. Things I won't care about tomorrow. Then they get cleaned and organized into my permanent documentation at the end of the day.

Herman Miller chairs are the bomb. I have an Aeron and it's incredible.

The picture quality of this video is top notch. Looks almost HDR in my TV.

Love this desk setup! I really need a minimalist-refresh of my workspace! Glad to hear you and baby are well :)

I have the Sayl chair and I absolutely love it! The office where I work has them and I liked it enough I decided to upgrade my home office chair and I'm so glad I did!

I’ve been Moleskine hoarding myself… I have soooo many, now I just need to just let go of past life drama, and start putting pen to paper with planning g and ideas with my photography hobby slash future hussle….;) and…. Ohhhh Happy early….Mothers Day!!

And I thought it was only my brain that didn't understand that "minimalist" doesn't equal "temporarily organized"

[piplup]

I think you minimalist desk setup is lovely! That's precisely what I love about the minimalist desk setup. Having really just what I am actively trying to do or accomplish in one easy flow state. I am a big sling bag kind of person and love just taking the one bag and then getting to my desk and doing what I need to and then that's it. Just my M2 MacBook is enough for all my work.

[StevenJohnstoneJDESIGN]

Having the MacBook display underneath which has smaller secondary apps easy to see and not taking space off the larger display certainly boosts productivity.

[BorislavMitsov]

I'm pretty sure minimalist environment help concentration and improve productivity because of the organisation needed. Well done!

[lidrajv]

You can try going for an Mini-ITX PC to save space but hey Mac Studio is also a good option for your minimal desk vibe.

[TimDillenberger]

You did a great video, I appreciated that you changed from multitasking to single tasking time for family and time for work.

[jonathanramsey]

I’m so glad you are doing well and baby has gotten out with you!❤

[MarkKrenitsky-untf]

Hope your feeling good. I have a bunch of rental properties and I find the simpler I make them, the better they work for me.

[seanvinci]

Great video! Always love a desk tour. Someone has probably already commented this, but if you want to switch to the Mac Studio but still want a trackpad, there's always the magic trackpad. I switched to it a few years ago and haven't looked back!

[Skillthrive]

You gotta upgrade the wheels to the roller blade wheels and make sure you protect those floors!

[BradColemanisHere]

I love these types of videos. Your setup is really close to mine. TOTALLY AGREE on the time pressure leading to extreme productivity. So much so that I feel really unproductive when I don't have that time crunch.

[JustinLewisWeb]

One of your best videos in a while :) I love it!
