    Yes! I’m a CS student and spent a good chunk of change on a new desk and 4k monitor and my productivity and focus are way up. Having a comfortable work environment makes a huge difference!

    Currently putting money aside for the stand up desk. I think that it would such good investment.
    🔍Tip for those wanting to get more work done: have a designated spot for your breaks. This desk will be only for work! It will condition you and make things more productive in the long run.

    I didn't spend big money on a mouse but I may still in the future. It is an investment in your future. You will spend a large portion of you computer time with your mouse I'd say spending big $$ on it is worthwhile.

    The MX Master 3 is by far the best mouse I've ever used, been rocking that for about 1.5 years and its still great. Battery life is insane, I think I've had to charge it like once or twice so far. Actually received the MX keys keyboard about an hour ago and its awesome so far! Was a little nervous moving from a mechanical keyboard but this thing is sleek and feels good.

    Hi Liam. Excellent video. I love the setup you have. Very nice. Quick question: how does your BenQ Light Bar work with your curved monitor setup? Most setups I see for the bar are monitors that are not curved. Are there any glare issues? Truly, how well does it light up the work area on your desk between you and the monitor? I have a Samsung 34" Extrawide Curved Monitor coming this week. I would like to get the light bar but wanted to make sure there were no issues with the curved monitors. Again, great video. Thanks for sharing with us.
