Hey guys, I hope you find this video useful. Let me know if you have any questions and as always, feel free to sign up to my bi-weekly newsletter here: thisise.tech/newsletter
Nice video. I still can't believe you have less than 100k subscribers with your video quality / production. I feel sorry for those who haven't found your channel.
I have been subscribed to this channel since it was at 4K subscribers. So happy to see the channel growing. Iskren, I have commented on your channel many times and I feel very happy every time I watch your videos. It gives such good vibes. 😃
This is an older video, but it's new to me. Your channel has helped me organize my setup, increased my productivity with the apps you suggest, and helped with my workflow. You the real MVP 🙌🏽
I like you …and your voice. I have subscribed awhile ago; really enjoy your very informative infoclips. I wish you had (or, in the future) explained why ‘facing’ a window is the best direction (?), …I would have thought such a position would cause ‘eye-squint’ and result in eye strain and/or headaches - obvious that I’ve never tried it. Still puzzled.
Natural light is the BEST!!! I have to stop slouching on the chair too 😂 Pomodoro timers are really great and I need to use them more! I prefer using speakers then headphones 😅 There's more freedom to move around!!! Awesome video as always Iskren! Sorry for watching so late!!! 😁
This video packed loads of helpful information which were presented succinctly. As I watched the video, I assessed my room to see if I could tick the boxes. Awesome content! Keep it up and I'm subscribed now!
You can make the "extra" version of this video (longer than this) where you recommend products for people who are about to make a new desk setup for productivity with some tips in order to make them avoid mistakes (like getting an 60cm deep desk instead of a 70cm or more). You can do it!
Oh man I'm busting my ass to be a Front-end web developer but I can't even afford a chair and trust me you experience new types of pain when you use your bed as a chair alternative! But if I make it I will definitely follow your great tutorial thank you so much for this video 🙌
Awesome video! I should show it to some my colleagues cramped in front of their 13 inch laptops and refusing to connect provided monitors! I would personally would add a trackball to the list. I have thumb-operated trackball for about a year now and I could never go back to a mice. It reduced pain in my wrist to almost zero.
I actually did that with my bedroom in one place. I moved the bed from the wall and centered it. It opened up the room incredibly!!! I had a full walkaround area of the entire bed. And yes, I always try to work by natural light. Just mentally it's pleasing! Thanks for such wonderful advice!!!
Although not mentioned in this video, I believe that the keyboard is the ergonomic or separate type that should be chosen. Many keyboards do not allow the arms to drop straight down from the shoulders, and they feel cramped because they are closer to the center of the body.
I have just moved my desk from the window-facing position to the wall-facing position. I've got the window on my left-hand side now. It helps a lot as the window in my "working room" is facing south and it is way too bright. In general, I must admit that home workspace is not that essential if you take reasonable breaks :) I have worked in front of a dining table called IKEA JOKKMOKK and sitting on the same, hard, wooden chair since 2018. This year, after moving to another flat, I've upgraded my setup to a real office chair and a motorized desk with a 30kg maple top. Honestly, there's not much of a difference in the way I feel. You just need to frequently give your eyes some time to focus on something (very) distant and walk around the flat. Going out before or after work also helps a lot. We are animals, we are designed to move :) if you sit for 3-4-5 hours without any movement, you can use all these tricks and hardware to only _mitigate_ the physical damage you're doing to your body.
Hi Ise, its always been a pleasure to watch your clip in terms of vibe, flow and clear relevant info/topic. A big thanks and claps for your work and keep it going!👍👏
What up e ! Happy holidays, i need to get a monitor so i can use it with my macbook 12 pro at home and set up a comfortable work space but i notice people using hubs and you mention a monitor that has one built in ? I mostly work online as i use crm, websites, web browsing maybe very light video editing but not much. What monitor and/or hub you recommend?
My bedroom is a loft bedroom, my office is on the lower floor and the bed is on the top floor. The office does not have a window and the only natural light is from the windows in the floor above. The ceiling lights is either too warm or too cool, too bright or too dim. Another issue is air circulation. I have an old table fan and a new tower fan, but with the room reaching up to 32-35°C during the day, I really need something better. Although I do have an AC, I don't see it as the best way as it consume too much power and isn't really great for the environment. I'm a university student with a very tight budget with very little income. What can I do to combat the issues?
things about earphones. i’m wearing glasses. wearing headphones for sometime will hurt both of my ears because of the ear pressure my glasses 😑😑😑 i’m ordering a new in ear earphones, or using true wireless bluetooth earphones with ANC is recommended!
To me it doesn’t look very ergonomic? this slightly leaning back posture + looking down on the monitor would surely put stress on the neck and shoulders rather than alleviate it into a natural pose
This is the video I didn't know I needed. Great one. Regarding the monitor size, I've been thinking about 27 inches and 32 inches 4K for productivity and light gaming purposes. My desk is measured Length 120cm X Depth 60cm. I'm afraid that if it's gonna too big or not big enough for me. and the pandemic. all the shops are closed here to go and check T-T
I'm sorry but I don't get how there's people that work in bursts of 15-30 minutes…like unless you're completely independent and don't have meetings or deadlines, then sure do what you want. The truth is that the average person won't be leaving their desk for at least 2-3 hours for some real focus work.
1:11 It will result in poor posture, really? The guy is moving around like a bee in a beehive, he's activating a lot of back muscles which are essential for good posture.
You’re a great guy and I generally love watching your videos, but I’m getting sick and tired of everyone constantly talking about desk set ups. I know we’re (still) in the middle of a pandemic, but surely there’s other things to talk about. As I said, love your stuff E and this isn’t a dig at you, but am getting ready to unsubscribe from a ton of people.
Hi Taz, running a small tech channel is extremely difficult and demanding…and expensive. Although you find these topics too much, often they are good for many, especially when we are in the middle of tech release drought. Also, such content is good for displaying interesting items (not this video in particular) which are more often than not difficult to focus on in a separate video. I have plenty of non desk setup content planned for the next few months which you’ll hopefully find interesting.
@@ThisIsE mate, I have nothing but respect for you and your work. As I said, it wasn’t a dig at you, just a general observation. You’re hands down one of the best out there. Your (calm) delivery is refreshing and rather soothing haha. Keep up the great work.
