5 simple tips to LEVEL UP your workspace / boost productivity!
You gotta make your workspace work for you 🔁
Here is how my workspace has evolved over about the last 9 years, and why I choose the things I did.
- Created a dedicated office space/room for separation of work versus leisure areas. I couldn’t afford to do this at first but now I can to help me stay focused.
- Bought a 9 foot wood kitchen counter and two drawers from Ikea, in order to DIY a desk that can fit everything I need. Save a little money and reduce friction.
- Added ambient lighting and lamps in order to control the vibes
- Got a chair with arm and back support (I’m getting old)
- Got things like a self-heating coffee mug, and a pomodoro timer to help further reduce points of friction
- Always have at least 2 screens for productivity or to watch something on the side. Habit stacking.
Personally, I’m a software developer, so I need to space that is productive for researching and coding.
It will never be perfect, but I try to make it as frictionless as possible to accomplish my goals.
I took a lot of philosophy from Atomic Habits, a great book about building habits that push you toward your goals, with little changes at a time.
Looking back, it took a long time to find how I wanted my workspace to be, and build up slowly over time (I was brokey broke early on).

Great video. There are a lot of packages that can get your project up and running fast but I will say be careful for ones that are not maintained.
Thank for reminding me that I have something to do :)
No problem! 😂
Good❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤
😅 thanks! Real life
PHP is meme generator 😂
Great story! In short, mine is like; had windows 95, played runescape one it after updsting the 95 to 2000 software; accidently opened the console, surfed through and founf the html; i started copying and pasting stuff and started editing code as well as css (which they also had on RS); but after awhile i was wanting to do more but couldn't figure it out so i stopped analyzing the raw code data. Long story short it took 15+ years later to find resources to learn how to code and now i do tech related work everyday.
Try using an outdated chromebook with low ram and low memory. Nothing but raw code no nothin else not even another code editor straight text app no extra nothing...😢
REAL, I been there before :/
@@KGcodes True!
😂 my fav piece of content from KG 🤣🤣
Thanks so much!!
I'll subscribe to your channel if you'll answer me ???
Bro is there any way to create a software website or app without $0. Please make a video on it step by step method, if it's possible 😢
Sigh. Have you tried “ChatGPT?” 😂😂😂
I agree with most of this! The thing that helped me the most is separating the space where I eat from the space where I work, as well as having a separate office from bedroom
Can you please teach me how you built the app
Great video; keep it coming….🙌🏿🙏🏾🦾
thanks so much man!!
hi there i have question how do you setup your linux server with ngix and how to do you host i would love to see that video
I will try to make a video on that!
Hello I need an app
Amazing! Thanks bud!
Very nice simple explanation. Well done.
thank you for the awesome video pls make more easier for beginners coz this one was not for the beginners. and pls make for both ios and android.
Thanks for this feedback! I will try to share more beginner content!
can you walk me through this one time if i share my screen? im getting stuck and it seems simple
hey man!! really good!! keep it up!
Thanks so much! Will do!
Thanks. Made my first PR yesterday
Sneaky... unfortunately, I wasn't on a box that had built the project before, so I didn't have any archives to edit.
Started out good... but then you didn't make good on your promise. You originally said that maybe you don't have access to the code anymore... but then you had to open up XCode and make a new archive.
Have you heard about VideoGPT? It's like having a secret weapon for your videos, giving them that extra edge in quality.
So, I've been on this CZcams journey, exploring storytelling and video creativity. Recently found VideoGPT, and let me tell you, it's like having a secret weapon for making my content look super professional. People are loving the new vibe on my channel!

Lol then they say ur not apart anymore 😂

Recently my dumbass discovered that cable modems have max speeds. I should have known this since I been doing this since dial up in the 90's. I've been paying the ISP for bandwidth I couldn't use for probably a year or 2 now. Got a new cable modem and instant improvement. Decided while I was at it I'd upgrade my hand me down Cat5 with some Cat6a, another (much smaller) speed boost. Fairly inexpensive upgrade as well in the grand scheme of a PC build or home network.
I use Wi-Fi 7 Xiaomi routers so 🤷♂🤷♂
Nice! You’re future proofed but none of my devices are WiFi 7 yet so I wouldn’t see much benefit yet with a WiFi 7 router.
Bro why your upload speed is garbage? 💀
That's cable internet for you. Most people download more then they upload anyways. So most people aren't really affected with that amount of upload speed
@@troy028 I use ethernet too but I got both 300 up and down
Yeah what @troy028 said - the max upload from my ISP is 20mbps and I get 17-22 avg based on testing which is what it should be. All I would need to do is pay more for a higher plan with more upload now, but I don’t need/want to right now.
@@KGcodes bruh do you not need an upload speed of atleast 30mbps to stream 4k?
Don’t get me wrong - you are right! For streaming 4k you need that but right now I don’t do any 4k streaming, don’t have a media server with 4k videos, or anything like that. So I’m just saying I rather save the money until I have the need. Now that I’ve wired up, all I have to do is upgrade my ISP plan when I’m ready.
Help me out, Even on like netflix's servers, the max speed it supports is like 50mpbs cuz of the trillions of people using it, so why buy gigabit when you're only gonna use megabyte
To me it’s not just about max speed - but also connection stability and quality. Even that max 50mpbs from Netflix can be affected by WiFi interference and/or congestion.
Also Netflix is just one source - there are many others some of us use daily that have a far better max downstream than 50mb. Like video game services, conference call services, etc.
@@KGcodesAh i see, good to know, i live in india where rarely any websites other than speedtesting ones exceed 20mpbs
Another thing for me when I was starting was consistency. Great video as usual!
Same for me!! Thanks bro!
Get some rest too! Thx for this video, i needed to see it.
This deserves more attention, I used to struggle a whole lot with the issue of learning a little of everything or a lot of one thing. I'd also like to add that when you're learning, you should decide to start on a project (of whatever difficulty you are capable of) and learn tools and languages through that, because realistically no project uses any single programming tool/concept, so you learn multiple things, and you learn enough of that skillset to know how to actually effectively use it.
Thanks man! Thanks for adding that - agreed! Same here - something I’m better at, but still like to remind myself of to continually do better with
