My Minimal Productivity Mac Desk Setup (for students, office work, developers, and more!)

A minimal desk setup can be an extremely refreshing yet focusing element of your work routine. A simple screen and M1 MacBook Air paired with some basic accessories can be the perfect companion for students, developers, office work, web design, editors, and more. In this video I show you my very own minimalist, modern 2021 desk setup, including accessories from Dell, Logitech, Philips Hue, Anker, Apple, and Amazon.

You have shown one of the best videos of office design, not a 3K chair, a 200 mouse pad with no reason, a simple a cheap laptop stand and not a aluminum ultra aerospace ultra special without reason, just simple stuff that most of the people can afford and it looks good. Cheers and thanks.

My desk is real minimal productivity setup: it is littered with random shit: some food, papers, notebooks, and all other stuff. The productivity is minimal, I promise.

We love a setup for minimal productivity

Might want to pay attention to your video title. The first thing I thought was, “I’m interested in maximal productivity, not minimal productivity!”

[maschan]

Genius move to put your cat on the spansor spot... Can't skip it that way haha

[diegocaro]

Glad I’m not the only me working at minimal productivity 🤣 (lovely setup, though)

[FajrulFx]

The inverted apple logo bothers me a lot 😂 Anyways, great video!

I had an Ikea desk I never stained an I think you just gave me the inspiration to sand it down and refinish it. That desk though omg. I love it

A bit late for this, but you might wanna change the title to something like, "My **Minimalist** Productivity Setup". As is, it sounds more like, "Finally, I can minimize my productivity!".

I too have a minimal productivity setup. With all my consoles and snacks hooked up to a monitor.

I would love a complete desk setup video.

Clean setup for sure but in my experience, working with a separate keyboard and mouse/trackpad results in at least a 50% slowdown. Whether typing, programming, photo editing or simply entering data into onscreen PDF form or web-based form, pace is faster with the MBP’s built in keyboard and trackpad. Your hands remain in typing position as you manipulate the MBP’s trackpad. Having to move one hand between the external mouse/trackpad and back to typing position on the keyboard is significant’y slower

This is the true definition of minimalism. I like it.

[aymansiam]

Please make a vid about sanding and what you did do table top

[shanepivac]

would love to see a quick run-through on that desk. Currently on the lookout for a desk or two for my workroom / business office

[Ribbit]

[atomotron]

"Minimal productivity", yeah. That should be my motto for the next few weeks!
