Your bullet journals come up quite a bit in your videos, they seem to have helped you a lot. I'd like to try to add that tool to my productivity/goal setting toolbox. I see how minimalist approach to your life allows for better concentration, for me the journey to minimalist lifestyle has been difficult but I still keep trying to declutter. Enjoy your weekend!

[@navi0822]

As a person who loves desk set up videos, I wasn't expecting one from you. Loved the video especially, because in your room tour video you did not type on your keyboard for us to hear the sound. :)

[@mackenzielai3449]

Yes! I thought needing a tidy desk to study was just part of my self-diagnosed OCD, glad to see a Cambridge medic doing the same as me :)

[@ChaoticCreative259]

I love your videos Izzy! I’m starting my clinical rotations this year and I was feeling incredibly stressed about it… but your have honestly given me motivation to go at it and give it my all!! ❤ thank you

Such simple, much zen:) M1 MBA such an insane value too, love that laptop. I could probably use a bigger screen for the work I do but damn it's hard to get a Pro, so much more expensive just for a bigger screen. I also never wanna hear fans again now that I have an Air, fans instantly harsh my work focus.

[@alaminthemejobhai6108]

Hello,,it's alamin from Bangladesh. I am very happy to watch your vedio and i am doing ielts for going abroad and i am learning very much from your vedios,,i like your all activities🥰😇

[@AndrewChenGuofu]

Very neat desktop setup. Since you have external keyboard and trackpad, have you consider hooking up a large screen monitor to the Mac, Izzy?

[@thispolitics2681]

Hello Izzy, Your voice is so soothing and addictive. Can you also share the type of microphone you use? Impressed with the clarity of sound. Thanks.

Hi, Izzy! Just discovered your channel and really enjoying your content. 💗 Wanted to ask, what camera and micropohone do you use for online classes? Thanks, Izzy. Love from the Philippines!

[@jianjiawang7579]

Thank you for sharing. I like your channel to share the learning experience in Mandarin and teaching in English. I am now learning English and pretty much like your Birtish RP accent. Is there any Apps we can use to talk to native spearker to improve the speaking?

[@cyanophage4351]

Well done for typing correctly. So many people, even those doing mechanical keyboard KZbin channels, don't know how to type

One cheap way to prevent hunching and be kind to your neck is using something like some books to bring your MAC top border at the level of your eyes while you sit straight.

I can't help but noticed that on minute 5:23, the Sony camera that you stored neatly in your drawer, could you share what's the Sony camera model is? Really appreciate if you are kind enough to share or perhaps make an upcoming video about how you are making day to day vlogs and what you are using to do so.

.... Use Night Shift on your Mac,, (( Apple menu > System Preferences., Click Displays. , Click Night Shift. )) Night Shift automatically shifts the colours of your display to the warmer end of the colour spectrum when it gets dark. .... Studies have shown that exposure to bright blue light in the evening can affect your circadian rhythms and make it harder to fall asleep. Night Shift uses your computer's clock and geolocation to determine when it's sunset in your location. It then automatically shifts the colours in your display to the warmer end of the spectrum. In the morning, it returns the display to its regular settings.

As a health and safety officer of a school, I think the desk is too high and the laptop screen seems a little too low for the eyes and neck.

[@jonblaha1898]

[@ducpham6334]

So what you’re saying is Izzy should lower the desk and higher the laptop position, like put something inbetween them? 🧐
