Tech and gear that improved my quality of life

[@Hani19]

The Whoop Band being a subscription and not a one time buy is a disappointment. You never own the product and if the company changes its mind or goes bankrupt, "your" band becomes useless.

[@dexterie]

I that case, you stop paying and stop using it. Better scenario than buying it and then the company going bust and you end up with a toy that can’t be used.

[@dexterie]

@@harvivekdhindsa6809 I see it the same way as leasing a car. Or renting something. With the Whoop I feel I’m paying for the service, not the band. Once they have a new model, I get it without having to “buy” another one. I don’t need to own it… I just want to have the service it provides.

[@dexterie]

@@harvivekdhindsa6809 just as a real life example (it’s happening to me right now): Sonos ruined the experience with their new app. My whole system is unusable. Had it been subscription based, I would have stopped the subscription, send the speakers back and get something else from a company that respects their customers. I wouldn’t even think twice. But because I bought the speakers, I’m now either stuck with paperweights or I have to spend a lot for new speakers from another brand.

[@Tovkal]

While that is true, the subscription also helps the company cover ongoing expenses needed to keep sold products working. If 100 people buy the band and then nobody else does, the subscription increases the likelihood (though it does not guarantee) that the company can continue running the servers the band requires. The alternative is to skip the subscription but raise the product's price, considering the expected longevity of each band, to cover server costs. Cheaper product with a subscription or no subscription with an expensive product-each has its pros and cons, and neither is ideal.

[@Danny-ti8qs]

Agreed! I’m also tired of paying for subscriptions for everything

[@andypan30]

Honestly, having plants around my work space has really improved my quality of life. Just having something green and alive to look at and be able to spend a little bit of time once in a while to take care of them has really helped destress and calm my mind.

[@Izzydroid.]

Adding life to the scenery ;)

[@jreid2171]

Plants I would agree made my quality of life better

[@aliabdaal]

Kindle, always on my bedside table. Airpods Pro, always in my pocket for audiobooks and podcasts :)

[@Starwarsmast]

Having a neatly cable managed and organized desk setup has greatly improved my quality of life. It is so nice just to be able to sit down at a clean space that doesn't look a total shambles and this has encouraged me to spend more time being productive at my desk.

[@rishinarang9966]

It may seem simple...but a bicycle. Especially around town a bicycle forces you to get outside and turns something as simple as a commute to school and back into a physical activity. It is especially good on busy days before exams where I may not really have the time to play tennis or go to the gym.

[@Hmy8799]

I’m jealous you live in a bike friendly city/town! So true about it forcing you to get a dose of nature and activity regularly-both of which are INCREDIBLY important for overall health! Most U.S. cities are so behind/not bicycle friendly at all….which makes no sense to me🤦🏻‍♀️. I live in the 4th biggest city in the country, and there are only a few places where there is a TEEEENY TINY sliver of street dedicated for bikes-but they may as well not exist, as they may be a mile long max… Plus, drivers have become absolutely nuts here in the past 10 years…there have been far too many incidences of hit and runs by a car that kills a bicyclist, or just car driver not being aware of their surroundings and hitting bikers😢

[@jctsea]

Honestly, Adaptive Cruise Control. I have it in my ‘23 Subaru Forester Sport and it has been a game changer. When the car brakes and accelerates and keeps a consistent pace based on the vehicle in front of me, it makes stop and go traffic so much easier to navigate.

[@ParkourBrian]

Yup - had a 2016 outback with this system and did a few cross-country drives with it. Phenomenal!

[@MarkKidsley1989]

i hated it on mine, as would slow me down when id rather go for an overtake

[@NoyPi6step]

I love it so much, I drive its hand controls and as a wheelchair user

[@Juhsentuh]

Believe it or not my 13 mini has improved my quality of life. Along with uninstalling social media apps from my phone the mini has helped me use the smartphone more as a communicator. My screen time is less than an hour a day. I make calls, send some text, check emails, gps, take some pics, and listen to music on my phone. That’s it! So refreshing not be tied down to my phone. I don’t have to carry it with me everywhere around the house and if I miss a call or text well I’ll see when I see it! 😂

[@bitboy]

Roborock S7 Max vacuum and mop combo, letting a robot do the dirty work (and it actually doing a good job) has been a real game changer. I love that I can use the app from wherever I might be in the world to clean!

[@ethandx9]

Macbook Pro, 4K Monitor, Secret Lab Office Chair, Audi Car, Naim Mu-so QB speaker, Sony WH1000XM5, Beats Fit Pro, Logitech Mouse, Webcam, desk size mouse mat, iPhone 14 pro max, 2018 13 inch iPad pro, 65 inch OLED tv, PS5, Hue Lights that I can control from my phone - not having to get out of bed to turn off the lights is great.

[@sjenx02]

I’ve been using an Apple Watch since 2019 but buying the Ultra last year has been a game changer. It motivated me to redo my lifestyle and the insane battery life means I’m almost always wearing it and staying in tune with anything going on with my body

[@alexanderhdo]

how do you use it? I bought an Ultra too and only use it for tracking workouts but idk doesnt seem useful

[@luisberger2077]

That's funny. I've purchased an Apple Watch to train for a marathon last year, and it's probably been the most useless and overpriced piece of tech I've ever purchased. It's ALWAYS- always always- running out of battery, often has issues syncing workouts, Spotify playlists, etc... And I simply can't really find a use case for it other than tracking a workout (and it's not even good at that).

[@MorganHort]

@@luisberger2077try a garmin

[@AbdullahHumayun06]

The BenQ monitor light bars. I know that this might not be as unique as some others but boy when I tell you how it changed my life, its crazy. It provides so much more visibility when working at night or even in the day while it still looks good imo. Subtle so it doesnt stand out as much and the easy controls. It's amazing

[@maxpro1234]

favorite tech all year this year: ELECOM Relacon Handheld Trackball Mouse, Thumb Control, 2.4GHz Wireless, Ergonomic Design, 10-Button Function with Smooth Tracking, Windows11, MacOS. no wrist pains and hands free from the desk surface. it's a game changer.

[@stefanschneider3681]

I have some weights in my basement which I used rarer than I wanted. Then I got myself a simple little treadmill to warm up for just a few minutes and since then I go do some weights much more regular - and after 2 months it has certainly improved my fitness!

[@Deathsead747]

Honestly a decently priced Ergonomic chair, that doesn't break your budget but definitely saves your back from breaking. A worthy quality of life improvement.

[@mikhaylovs]

Xiaomi Monitor light is a simple and not expensive but absolutely a game changer for me, for my working hours. Everytime I ask myself why I didn't get it earlier. It's so useful for eyes, and overall comfort.

[@jamesclifford5496]

A simple and cheap one that i discovered from your videos but my Orbitkey key organiser. The ability to know exactly where each key is because they're in order, and also to be able to find any key with one hand fairly easily is amazing. And one more is my razer gaming laptop. Having one device that doesn't is slim and designed well enough to not scream "gaming laptop" but can still easily play AAA titles is such a good feeling I never get tired of!

[@sarasoueidan]

The Dyson vacuum is honestly one of the best purchases I've ever made. I used to wake up every morning with a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. I had to take an anti-histamine pill every single day (not joking). But when I got the Dyson, I vacuumed my bedding and furniture with it and I swear I haven't taken an anti-histamine or woken up with a stuffy nose ever since I did. It's incredible. Worth every penny. I'd re-purchase in a heartbeat if I need to. It also makes vacuuming so much fun with the green laser light (if you get one of those). Highly recommend.

[@theotimepirmolin9058]

hello man, so tech that improve the quality of MY life : 1. 14" MacBook Pro M1 Pro, very similar to yours. it just works SO well and its so enjoyable to use i feels everybody who is working from a laptop should get this one (if they're into Apple already because i'm sure other laptop are also nice to use etc.) because there nothing worse than working with tools you don't like. 2. AirPods Pro 2nd gen : you put them in, connect immediatly, play a song, it sounds really nice. awesome noice reduction and lot of cool software feature. i feel like it's a really good investment for someone who listen to music a lot outside and is in the apple ecosystem already. these are just fantastic. nice video btw, i really like the visual quality, the different shots, really cool.

[@Treday2day]

12.9” iPad Pro (M chip) with LTE - extremely versatile - very portable and light - journal, take notes and doodle - connect via airplay to 70” TV to teach my kids - very helpful as a youth basketball coach to draw up plays and have pre recorded plays at my disposal - great screen for watching movie and videos - video game play and ps5 remote play - with the Magic Keyboard you can easily get basic tasks done - it can connect to an external monitor in a pinch. Disclaimer: iPads cannot replace actually computers* I’m a Mac Studio user* former MacBook Pro user as my M1 Max MBP sits in a drawer*Oliur is very right about being able to disconnect*Ipad can’t get any serious work done, it’s more fun than serious

[@VktrSchlz]

Robot Vacuums are such a time saver... They clean your home while you are working, or when you go out. It's so convenient. Especially when you have cats losing a lot of fur

[@matthewyount7225]

Having my Apple TV 4K has significantly improved my life! It's wonderful to have the ability to control my TV even when I misplace my remote or want to stream KZbin videos directly to it.

[@mensahfrancis4216]

My Laptop has really opened up my life, learnt a lot of stuff from Video and photo editing, to project management, all with an HP i3. literally pushed it to its limits, looking to upgrade soon.. Having it really improved the quality of my life.

[@traintravel8279]

Lumie Alarm Clock, perfectly mimics sunrise which is perfect for winter when you have to wake up before it's light. It's also a much more gentle way to wake up which makes all the difference on those early morning rises as opposed to the blaring alarm from my phone going off. The Lumie greadually gets brighter and then you sound goes off on the time set. Honestly a game changer.

[@fabiodesteves]

For me, one of the products that improves my life quality the most is my motorcycle. Escaping the dreaded rush hour by lane filtering, parking anywhere without issues of paying expensive parking in the city centre, parking always close to my destination instead of walking 10 minutes, and also the economy of it: cheaper insurance, fuel, maintenance.. also, robot vacuum, for sure.

[@bigman8733]

Recently got a 34 inch ultrawide for my setup at my office and it genuinely has helped my neck so much. I used to have 2 24 inch monitors one in the middle the other tilted towards me on the right but for some reason my neck would hurt having to turn (I don’t like the bezel in the middle). W this new monitor I can screen split 2 tabs and just move my eyes rather than my neck, and it makes me more productive and less fatigued when working!

[@mavkajutsu]

AirPods Pro, worth the $250. I use it everyday for music, video games, podcasts, watching KZbin on my phone. I like the convenience of charging the pods for 10 minutes after using it for a while and it gives me extra hours of listening time. I use the noise cancelling when I mow my property or when I want a full immersive audio experience. I take it everywhere I go except going out with family or friends, honestly this has to be the best investment of all the products I own.

[@poobalu]

Word of caution on the Dyson Vac, our experience has been that the battery only lasts about 2 years before it starts to fail and a replacement is in the realm of 100 USD. Not a dealbreaker, but it doesn't hold up well over time without needing parts replaced fairly often.

[@VeritasVinci7]

I’ve got a little portable waterproof speaker for my bathroom. I think it’s a Sony xb100. Originally 45 quid or so but it was on sale. We have google home minis in every room in the house but for privacy reasons (and difficulty of getting mains power/water everywhere) we got this little gem. It’s perfect for getting psyched with hot showers and loud music before a big day at work, AND i can just take it to the park when I need to. It’s powerful enough. Also the orange one is adorable. We named it Carrot in settings haha 🥕

[@minimalsubstance]

Would love to see you test out a garmin soon. A comparison between Garmin vs Apple vs the whoop band would be a great video.

[@dylanmacintosh]

I like that you mentioned getting the nice Dyson vacuum, as folks often write off cleaning products as not being “technology” in the strictest sense, but I’ll add an honorable mention for a robot vacuum as a device that has improved my life for well worth the price. The amount of dust and pet hair that it picks up from its automatic scheduled cleanings *even after* running the regular vacuum is astonishing. And same as you said for the Sonos setup, if a robot vacuum seems too expensive for you, check the used classifieds. People seem to often be selling last year’s flagship robot vacuums for half price or less. I think I bought my shark robot / wandvac combo vacuum set for $100 bucks on OfferUp and I’ve had it for years now. Great video as I think it gets to the core of why we like technology in the first place- because it makes our lives easier. Cheers!

[@ElieBeth___]

I’ll never look back after buying my first noise cancelling headphones 6 years ago. Since then I’ve owned Bose, Apple, seinheisser, and my pixel buds pro. My partner has the Sony and loves them. Love NC technology for work, travel, entertainment, or simply to enjoy music that little bit more. I get distracted very easily by sounds but also sound is very important to me when I want to hear it. Honestly now that we have it, would be so sad if I didn’t have NC technology in my life. Side note the Nomad Goods pixel buds cases look very appealing after seeing how good the iPad case is 👀

[@enigma1936]

1. A good mouse. Currently I am still using Logi M590 on home & MX anywhere 2s on remote work. Multiconnectivity and reprogrammable buttons is a must 2. 65%keyboard 3. Insulated water bottle & tumbler

[@hummazmehbub]

1. Shifting to a business laptop. Currently using a Dell Latitude and everything just works like a well oiled machine. Unlike my previous laptop, which was the HP ENVY. The build quality, battery life, aesthetics are just so much better on a business laptop that I don't think I'l be going back to a regular model again. 2. An 8-inch tablet. By far one of the most used gadgets I have. It is the Xiaomi MiPad 4 (old model, I know), and its helped me get back in to my reading habit again after being away for nearly a decade. I have academic books, comics, and tons of fiction/non-fiction books on it and the portability (and the Android ecosystem) make it very easy to simply dump as many books on to it and take them with you wherever you go.

[@mctechlife]

Not a single product, but the combination of two competitor's products. My Galaxy buds live + Apple Watch (on a Nomad Sport band). I started running with these two products and I can listen to my music while running. I have lost 30 pounds and am much healthier. These products have improved my life tremendously. I have AirPods Pro, but the galaxy buds are much better for exercising.

[@israr__alam]

For me, my mechanical keyboard which made typing more enjoyable. Now I spend most of my time coding, which I find really fun.

[@JenniferKinney5285]

My Autonomous Standing Desk and Grovemade accessories have been a great change for me. Since I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, my desk setup is part of my living room. Having good quality pieces of kit that are also beautiful, makes sitting down to do work more enjoyable..

[@Thisath100]

It's ridiculous but - I use the Airpods Pro as an Android user. Despite feeling like a second class user with all the features I don't have access to when I don't connect it to an iPhone, I am obsessed with how well they work. I just picked up the 2nd Gen after my 1st Gen packed it up after 2 years, and the Adaptive Noise Cancelling & improved noise cancelling make it genuinely one of my favourite ever products.

[@ukstudent1]

Mine is an alarm clock, which was the start of my productivity geek challenge, and it really made me better.

[@Tinas_POV]

1. iPhone - after 10 years of android I switched to iPhone, and it was the best decision. Can’t imagine going back 2. Kapten & Son Bergen Pro backpack - really amazing backpack, smart pockets, really comfortable, and suitable for really any occasion. Great video, thank you!

[@andreasschmidt553]

Funnily enough, I use a lot of the same gear as you do. Apple of course, Dyson, Sonos, Studio Display for laptop(s) private and work. For travelling I have a nice adapter which serves my usb-a, usb-c charging needs of Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad. Definitely would add a vacuum robot for daily cleanup and an air fryer instead of the oven in my kitchen and a small rice cooker not to worry about rice sticking to my pots. Lastly, instead of an iron I use a steamer from Tefal. Much easier to iron and always neatly steamed clothes! For lighting Philps Hue system combined with two Nanoleafs… works with Apple HomeKit too.

[@saurabhmisra87]

Things that have improved my quality of life and productivity include a Dell XPS laptop, an external monitor, a MX Master mouse with customizable buttons and electro-magnetic scroll wheel, a mechanical Keyboard, Bose bluetooth speakers and soundbars and lastly a Bullet Journal.

[@techniknachhilfe1666]

The Ember Cup. It keeps any drink to a perfect temperature you chose. I got mine in 2022 and have used it every day (seriously). Before, my tea was too hot, then quickly too cold. But now I can have my tea on a perfect temperature for the whole day or up to 2 hours when I use the battery. I would instantly buy it again and will when it dies. People that say it is too expensive (150$) don't calculate how much use it gets. Only the app was bad two years ago but you don't need to use it (I used it once). No online-forcing so it will work even if the company dies.

[@_ndl]

Absolute game changer for me is the Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse (which I got convinced to buy after you mentioned it in an old video)! Just makes having to work on the computer all day so much more pleasant, I think it's my favorite tech accessory ever.

[@ingmararndt2915]

Wiz lights for my bedroom. It's easy to change colors with my phone depending on if I'm reading or watching tv etc. And having a remote for switching between preset modes or turning off the lights at night don't require the phone to charge near the bed.

[@SICKOx]

External monitor is definitely something that's improved my work flow.

[@ryanfernandes8845]

That’s amazing there are a lot of things that make my work space at home a pleasure to work in…..from the automation in my house to the room setup and integrations….most importantly since here in Dubai u can’t really make changes to the house and connections….most of my fixtures and automated tech is a retrofit…so it works like a charm. And it turn makes life easier and fits in the workflow.

[@CamOzone]

I have the whoop and went for the annual plan. I can't even begin to explain how much this has helped me over the past 7 months. Steep but worth it

[@jadenx123]

The moft phone tripod stand has been an incredible addition to my daily life. I use it to prop up my phone in stand by mode when I work and then when my lunch break starts I can use it to watch KZbin. I use it to prop my phone up next to my stove when I cook or next to my bed at night. Incredible value added for me 100% the best 35$ I’ve spent in a long time.

[@subratarakshit3133]

iPad. Completely replaced my rough copy for practicing maths and stuff. Total game changer.

[@juliankohlweg4247]

What has improved my quality of life was not a product but moving to Bali-Indonesia. Product-wise i would say the Samsung Z Fold which let's me work without bringing a laptop (mostly) and watch content while travelling without tv / heavy tablet.

[@onethirteenco]

I've really enjoyed the HomePod mini since I picked it up. It's small enough to tuck away in a corner of my desk and, for someone who isn't an audiophile, the sound quality is well above my Mac mini. I really enjoy having a playlist on in the background when I'm editing, coding, or designing.

[@pj427]

IEM’s / Airpods or any wireless earbuds. As someone who takes a lots of meetings, not having to wear headphones that can be uncomfortable a few hours is a game changer. Plus for the better audio aspect of IEM’s. Helps a lot during workouts and when cleaning the house too.

[@davidfulton3350]

AirPods Pro… just the way they seemlessly move from Apple device to Apple device without having to change Bluetooth settings like you do in other earphones was a game changer. Just plug and play, plus the sound and battery life are great!

[@godwin_njoroge]

Just dropped some of these in my dope tech list. Amazing video as always. Personally the biggest game changer has been building a custom creator pc. Saved up for quite a while and it’s changed my life knowing that I can edit anything without any hiccups then turn around at night and game :)

[@jessrabbit5623]

Automation. Phillips Hue light bulbs especially. Having those lights on set routines to fad in when you want to wake up, and fade out when it’s time for bed. It does wonders for melatonin and your body clock naturally waking up and falling asleep. It can work well enough to not need any audible alarm clock (depending on what kind of sleeper you are). Also a robot vacuum cleaner ($$ brand like Samsung etc.) Just like you said about your vacuum, it can see overpriced and silly, but once you have it you will question why you didn’t get one sooner. A robot vacuum being set to go at a certain time every day means you never have to think about it, and you never have a dirty floor. It picks up all the tiny bits on the floor before you even get to the point of thinking “I should vacuum”. It’s such a pleasant feeling. Similar to that clean bedsheet feeling, but not quite as good 😂

[@Danny-ti8qs]

The Logitech MX master - I used to have wrist pain while working but this mouse has fixed that. Absolutely love it!

[@ryanrod8569]

A nice multi tool with a pocket clip. Working outside or at any job that requires fixing small and delicate objects, a multi tool can save you so many trips back to your toolbox. Plus there’s always a person who “needs” to cut something or tighten a screw. Definitely will make people know you as a “handy” guy.

[@NY_Prodigy]

The anker MagSafe battery pack you recommended has definitely been a game changer for me. I’m in the military in the US and having a spare 10k worth of battery at the ready has saved me more than once

The iPad mini is a fantastic lightweight companion for me. I am a professional photographer and I usually edit on my MacBook Pro M3. When I don’t want to carry such a large heavy set up I just take my small pocketable camera (x100vi) and iPad mini + Apple Pencil and I’m set for the day to day. Anytime I get struck by inspiration I write on my iPad mini. Huge for productivity and extremely lightweight and portable.

I travel a lot for work so for me it was to have a travel case with all the essential cables and charges put it in at all times ready to pick up and leave.

[@DT0me7624]

Still running my M1 MacBook Pro 14” and loving it. I plug it into my Studio Display to edit, and take it with me when I travel.

A product that has improved my life is the Garmin Varia RTL516. It’s a backlight for your road bike, that can inform you, if a car is behind you. This way I can quickly see it on my bike computer and then I’m quickly notified to drive careful especially in the moment. So the benefit is, that you have more safety in traffic.

[@luxtron002]

Narwal Freo. It's pricy but it SIGNIFICANTLY changed my life. It does a really good job at vacuuming and mopping the floors. There are various modes, and I your able to set a schedule for each day or how ever many days you what to run it. It washes and dries it's own mop, so there is no oder and when cleaning your floors it's washing with a clean mop. It also rinses the mop through out the cleaning session so it doesn't just spread the dirt around. All I have to do now is just empty the dirty water bin, refill the clean water bin, and empty the dust bin.

[@mic0689]

I have gone all in on Bellroy products. The best has been the phone pocket which holds a few cards, one or two keys and my phone. As I have a 1-year-old, I want to switch off from my phone and have it out of the way and this does it perfectly. I can then set my Apple watch to only show important notifications during "Family Time".

[@intelmacs]

Rice cooker, super simple but unbelievably well engineered device. (See tech connections video)

[@dominodevelopment]

My unusual pick would be a transportable external monitor. I initially got one for displaying things on certain events, but now I always have an additional 14-inch screen ready to plug in with my setup at home or with my laptop when I'm away. Using 27-inches felt excessive for me, but a single one was sometimes suboptimal for certain tasks. This is the perfect balance for the times when I want that little bit extra screen real estate. I also agree with some comments about a monitor light bar - I got a cheap model that simply does its job well - and a Kindle - you don't necessarily need one to read books from the Amazon Kindle Library, but it certainly improves "quality of life".

Caldigit TS3+ This dock changes the game for single cable docking/undocking for every digital nomad. Whenever I have to jump out of the home office, I unplug one cable, drop my MacBook in my bag, and roll. It also powers my web cam and key light for web chats.

My best tech purchase since last year was Aqara FP2 motion sensor. It automates my lightings, vacuum, standing fans, etc. It is a definite life improvement as it is super useful though you got to work on Homekit automation shortcuts to build all the needs

[@esaedvik]

My products that changed my life for the better would be: IKEA Styrspel chair - Not quite an Aeron, but mesh and very well built. It's like 60-70% Aeron in terms of comfort. Still, much better than any gaming chair. Keychron V10 split ergonomic Alice layout keyboard - I'm old, so I've started suffering from wrist pains, golf/tennis elbow and such, so went back to ergo keyboards and this one has been a real blessing. Affordable base keyboard, which I changed the switches (Tecsee Ice Candy linears) and caps (Drop + MiTo MT3 Godspeed R2 Ares/Apollo) for to make it more "me". Almost zero health issues in the past year with this. Looking forward to upgrading to a physically split ergo keyboard though.

Herman Miller Aeron. If you sit at a desk for long hours, it’s worth every penny. They’re also easy to find used for pretty cheap.

My 16" M1 MacBook Pro is a total game changer. I've got 2 external monitors that I hook it up to but I also take it traveling. That and my iPhone 13 Pro are the perfect pair.

[@ziris]

My ipad mini. Just love the convenience it's brought to my life. I watch a lot of sports and twitch streams.

Buying a self cleaning robot-vac has been a GAME changer for me.. I have a dog and wood floors, not having it clean up his hair has been a timesaver!

My hands are normally always cold but I hate the hassle of wearing gloves, but I also don't want to get those disposable ones. I bought that hand warmer last winter and it was a game changer!

having an insulated cup/ water bottle helps me a lot because i drink warm water rather than cold water. so many health benefits like helping digestion for example.

One of the best tech gear that goes everywhere with me would be the airpods. Saves my neck from leaning to hold up my phone while i am doing things. Always on the go, can hear music or just having noise cancelling. Honestly i don't know how i lived before them.

Hi! Awesome video as always!! What essential oil do you use for the diffuser?

Sony WH-1000XM2 Noise Cancelling Headphones. Game changer for focussing work and when I'm out running. Love your videos! 👍

I love new sayings! I had to look up plunker! Amazing!

iPhone 15 Pro Max -- excellent cameras for content creation, helping me start my KZbin channel. WD Black Gamedrive SSD -- since I'm constantly reviewing new laptops, having all the installations, game files etc

A power bank! I bought a 10,000mAh one from a Lidl for £15 and took it on trip to the alps. While hiking it was great because I can’t charge my phone from a lake 😂 (I’ve recently bought a 20,000mAh one from a different Lidl) and investing in a large (5tb) external storage drive has helped massively

This is going to probably sound odd but a pocket (and I mean pocket) diary! I have always struggled with 'brain fog' and procrastinating in general and whilst calendars on phones or devices are great, there's just something about actually writing things down that helps me be more organised throughout the day/week!

For me it was letting go of my Apple Watch for an automatic watch. The peace of mind that comes with not having to recharge your watch every night and having it always juiced up when you're still out and about at night and need to be out again in the mornings. I thought I loved being able to have instant notifications pop up on my watch but I found that distracting while I'm working (I work from home too). I love not having to lug around the watch charger too when I'm traveling; I've downsized to just a MacBook Air M2, iPad mini 6, and iPhone 15, AirPods Pro 2 and they all just charge with the same usb c charger! What helped me the most was actually upgrading to an iPhone 15 though; the Dynamic Island is such a niche but useful feature for me. I use it to keep track of timers while I'm cooking or doing laundry, it's there for me to see the music I'm listening too, etc. I guess the added feature of the new AirPods as well where it can adjust volume straight from the buds. All these just made my Apple Watch obsolete

11:30 for Remote workers out there, a Great pair of headphones, a camera and a well lit room makes all the difference when you’re on those important meetings (i really get a lot of comments/complements). Of course paired with a decent internet connection 😂. Sometimes when I am alone, I prefer using the speakers and the camera’s built in mics, keeps your ears free from having headphones all day.

iRobot Roomba j8+ would be my choice. It’s saved me a ton of time not having to vacuum daily. In the weekends I take a little of bit of time to mop and vacuum using Tineco floor one switch S7. Two amazing products!
