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.
I second that, have had my Aerons for almost 20 years, changed a couple of pneumatic cylinders and mesh seats, but since they still make spare parts it’s no problem.
A self cleaning chair would be a killer though ;)
I’ve had my $70 office chair since 2017 , it’s held up like it’s brand new
@@loot-1998 Sometimes it’s more about the people and how they handle stuff :)
And I thought it was only my brain that didn't understand that "minimalist" doesn't equal "temporarily organized"
Here’s my minimalist desk setup
**Pans to the right** John with just a laptop 😂
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.
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.
Love this desk setup! I really need a minimalist-refresh of my workspace! Glad to hear you and baby are well :)
You did a great video , I appreciated that you changed from multitasking to single tasking time for family and time for work.
Great desk tour Sara! I think a minimalist desk setup was the right way to go.
One of your best videos in a while :) I love it!
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.
I’m so glad you are doing well and baby has gotten out with you!❤
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!
Sara is back!
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.
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!
So pumped for life organization stuff!
Herman Miller is like having a ferrari, not really required to complete your setup but it's definitely a nice-to-have more than a necessity.
Having the MacBook display underneath which has smaller secondary apps easy to see and not taking space off the larger display certainly boosts productivity.
i love it and i agree that having a big space only makes you add more crap! glad to see you doing great !!
I'm on that Laptop down and screen up front lately and I'm lovin' it 👏🏼
the production quality on this video was amazing!
I'm pretty sure minimalist environment help concentration and improve productivity because of the organisation needed. Well done!
Sara i love your desk setup
Good to see you back up and running. Congrats on the new baby! She’s a doll. I’m trying to grow my church U Tube page. My desk remains a tornado. i enjoy the show!
Just ordered a desk and chair from Herman Miller using your promo code! Thanks for the inspo, Sara! :)
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!!
DO ITTTTT
I still find that true as well; no matter how powerful your laptop is, a desktop is just always nicer for heavy workloads.
I’ve been needing a new office chair so bad and just impulse bought the Aeron bc of you! Been rocking a $100 amazon chair that doesn’t roll straight for 5 years and I stand it anymore 🤣 thanks for the code!!
Omg enjoy 🥺🥺🥺
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.
Nice minimalist desk setup!
I love the set up and it definitely looks minimalist to me. I think maybe I need a smaller desk so I won’t keep as much junk on it. It really does make you prioritize can take up that limited real estate.
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.
Do you think that you use the track pad on the Mac more because the software for mouse support on a Mac isn't as good as it is on windows?
Good desk tour!
Nice setup. I now need to redo mine.
Nice set up and video! For the PC you could go for ITX staff, lots of small powerful and not super expencive options
I have embraced the maximalist vibe since I enjoy more retro styling. The embody chair has been on my list for a while but I just bought an Ipad pro so my staples chair that I got 4 years ago will have to do hang on just a bit longer. But $400 off is tempting....
Love the yap. ✨
Judy lookin real chill!
I love my mac studio M2. I'd try to wait for the next version though, it should be coming out soon.
I actually just went through something similar, Laptop or Mac Studio. I updated my M1 Pro to an M3 Max with all the memory it could hold. I also went to 16 inch version. I might in the future get a Mac Studio if I need it, but I like having a single Laptop that can support up to 4 displays if I ever need it.
you go Sara!
Love the video! I’m curious about how you are dealing with a task list now. Are you just using Reminders or a checklist in Apple Notes?
Also how are you using Apple Notes in terms of the types of things you store there?
I also recently went to just Apple Notes. I was on Evernote but the recent price hike just didn't feel right with me. Transition was actually a lot easier than I thought. And yeah, same here, my editing PC is pretty much just for occasional gaming now.
I love raising desk. I have one myself.
Great Desk! I think you should definitely go with the Mac Studio.
Love the DJI Mic! If you want DJI also sells a minimalist LAV you can pair it with the DJI Mic to make it easier to conceal and get better audio 🤌🏼
hi Sara, would you switch to Adobe Premiere since you are changing to a PC? btw I love your videos, you and Jon have inspired me to start my youtube tech channel (a bit different then yours). Keep up your amazing work!
My guess would be that an m3 max would be more cost effective than a similarly-priced PC given how much dedicated hardware it’s got for encoding and other video-editing tasks. Have you done a benchmark recently? Keep in mind the M1 Pro is 3 years old at this point, and it wasn’t top of the line when it was new. It just seems like getting a PC into this setup is going to complicate it a lot
Love ❤this video I’m taking notes 📝 you ROCK 🪨⚡️❤️🤙
I just went through a similar process. I sold my desktop and traded in my M1 Pro MBP 14 for the M3 Pro MBP 14 and got rid of the desktop clutter. I keep my laptop closed and connected to a 28" Samsung 4K monitor and the usual peripherals.
Wait for the M4 in the Mac Studio, and who knows we know more at WWDC
Your setup looks a lot like mine these days, I just got an oak desk shelf and a Herman Miller Embody!
Great video!
Because of Apple Silicon, I would highly recommend just getting a laptop instead of a desktop. It is much more convenient having just one computer for everything than having a separate desktop computer. Plus, with Apple Silicon, the performance is almost identical as well. The only benefit for something like a Mac Studio would be lower cost (but not really since you would need a separate laptop), and if you want the "Ultra" chip. Also, it sounds like you really want at least the "Max" version not the "Pro."
I missed these kinds of videos. The Mac Studio sounds like the better option for you.
I used to use All in One PCs for minimalist purposes but I found it limiting. I decided to do a mini ITX PC build and it is so much better. Takes up very little space. I have seen several friends move from Apple to full PC builds for creative content.
11:20 Whyyy oooh whyy? Now I have to buy one ! Damn it !
For a desktop, it honestly depends on the os. Mac Studio for MacOS, a full spec’ed out mini itx build for windows. Both would work great with small spaces.
I have a mini itx build and I know how good the upgrade path, connectivity and doing the troubleshooting yourself is. It’s not plug and play, that’s about the only shortcoming.
Great seeing you back, btw!
Minisforum can be an option too, Wendel from L1T tested some impressive little machines!
Scarlet Witch is back on Earth 616❤
i have got the Herman miller sayl chair . already , i have to say its a lovely chair.(got it for free --->> helping a friend)
Definitely wait for the M4 chip to come to Mac before you upgrade. The M4 is gonna be huge performance leap from the M3
You can buy Magic Trackpad for Mac Studio or for closed MacBook setup
Fewer screens = better sleep, imho.
I had a 3-screen FCP X setup for years, 1 x 27-inch 2011 iMac, and 2 x old Samsung 19-inch from the early 00s.
Then one of the Samsungs blew, and I replaced it with a newer Samsung 17-inch, and I immediately noticed that my sleep quality was going to hell.
After a few months, I removed the new 27th inch; immediately, my sleep improved, so I removed the remaining 19-inch screen as well.
Now I'm down to just the 27in, and sleep, general concentration is generally better, and I don't get that 'burned in' dopamine feeling as if my brain is being branded by a bunch of hot pixels.
It's not bad once you get used to a single-screen FCP X setup.
I can always strap on the old 19in Samsung for a big project but haven't felt the need so far...
Will you review Surface Laptop Studio 2? Rly like that one.
Nice vids btw🥹
Hi Sara…will there be an updated Infinity Stand for the 2024 M4 iPads?? Thanks!
Great job. We all grow. LOL. Your old setup used to trigger me. Enjoy your work and ho[e LA is treating you well.
😂😂
Nods in agreement from within my Herman Miller Aeron (best Covid lockdown purchase I made).
I think that perhaps you should be sending yourself an invoice for your own self-consultation! Talking through it allows you to process your decisions much faster than I can! Well done!
Great Video! i really think you should get a mac studio tho
Have a m1 mbp max 64 gb I got new a yr ago at adorama for 2299. Grt deal and no reason to upgrade. Unless you do crazy intensive (We own an agency so Adobe / FCP) no need to upgrade. Love Apple but if someone does intensive 3d I still think pc will always be better for that but again I am talking avout very high end. Apple I believe is having issues with mac sales and it probably is because the m chip was made too good if that makes sense. In the end ot is the least they could do given you can not upgrade anything. Interested how using the laptop in front of the monitor. I hace tried doing that multiple times and in the end you get the same back / neck isuues looking down so much. Great setup!
What is the lowest height seeting for the Jarvis Bamboo Desk? I am only 5'4" tall so most of these types of desk are inch or two to tall for me.
Using a Mac Mini M2 on my L desk. Takes up little space and has plenty of guts for editing with Resolve studio. Also use a M2 Macbook Pro for working out on the front porch.
Mac Studio with Max instead of a desktop? It's far smaller than a normal desktop. You can also buy an apple touchpad as a separate input instead of a mouse (or as well as).
2:59 speaking on this point, i've not been able to get on with some editing for a few months now, and so i'm more behind than ever
gonna jump from an intel based 2018 MacBook Pro to a mid-range Mac Studio, but since it's rumoured Apple will update this at WWDC like they did last year, i've been holding off putting in my order in order to make the upgrade the most bang-for-my-buck possible, leapfrogging the M1, M2 lineup and landing comfortably on M3, though now i actually wonder if my patience will have paid off as i suspect the jump will actually be to M4 after that keynote on tuesday 🤷🏻♂️
Hi Sara. Greatings from Munich Germany. Will you Buy one of the New iPad`s? i Prefer The New iPad Pro 13"
"ah, that customer service number, the good old days" 😂
I wish my set-up looked as clean as yours
3:00 Sara, get this from a Apple Sales Professional; get the M3 Max MacBook Pro. When the Mac Studio and the MacBook Pro both had the fast M2 Max the performance delta was marginal. At this point in time, the even faster M3 Max is only available in the MacBook Pros. PLUS it sounds like your need for a faster computer is urgent so don't bother waiting for the M3 Mac Studio and get the MacBook Pro! :)
I have the same Studio Display with nano texture. And like you a cat also. I’m always terrified thinking what if my cat decides to scratch my nano texture display. Will it be damaged? Do cats do that??
Go for the Mac Studio. You won't be disappointed.
Have you seen the new Puget Systems laptops? The Puget Mobile Workstation? Just sayin'
I perfectly understand why this is minimal for you. But I think it needs more decluttering to be real minimal (Only an opinion) :D
Im selling my Desktop, and Im going to get a maxed out iPad Pro 13" with maybe an ROG Ally for my gaming lusts.
Going to keep my desk with the monitor and keyboard, but it will be used as a docking station for work from home.
Can you please link that USB C to display port cable
Never clicked on a video so fast
Wait out WWDC 2024 and see if there's a next Mac Studio with possibly an M3 Ultra or M4 Ultra chip.
So its now gone from Peachy momma to minimal momma thats a bit long lol thx ya shining Girl so happy for you and Byron? AKA Mr hill lol its an Aussie thing lol i just got a new chair im a fat ass so its been hard as a Gammer yes i did say Gammer i am a ranked farlight84 player no 1 in Australia 7th in Asia and 23 in the world not bad for an old codger lol so got a $650 chair and finally its great lol
same setup here with laptop opened without extra keyboard and mouse
Yeah, team.
Say what you want about Herman Miller, but you can’t deny their chairs are some of the best
What happened to the Desk Top computers you had in New York, I remember you had some nice Desk Top computers back then, okay while I'm typing this I realized maybe there just too old. Technology doesn't move that fast .... does it 😱😂😂😂 I love how happy you looked typing numbers on your calculator 👍
0:26 I listened to this the first time. So, I just now noticed and had to zoom in to make sure that was Jonathan sitting at the other desk and not a trompe l’oeil caused by a plant -a chia Jonathan head?- and a casually draped tee or something. LOL spoiler: it’s Jonathan. I’ll clean my glasses, don’t worry.
i cannot wait to buy my own home just so i can get my desk set back up properly how i want it
Do you know which video will get more viewers based on content? Or is it hard to predict?
Which square monitor is that?.
Hello, Congratulations Cool👍👏👏👏
Mac Studio is a powerhouse but MacBook is more versatile and you basically get 2 for 1 since you can take it with you.
Sara you are very beautiful ❤. More I watched your video, more I fall in love with you again. Stay blessed. ❤
