The sand table looks incredibly cool - the nerd in me wants one. But surely it defeats the entire point of a zen garden in that you get the relaxation/mindfulness while you physically shape the sand by hand...

This video is exactly what I needed after redesigning the layout and aesthetic of my office! With my budget I chose to keep the charging cables but instead grabbed some elago cable management buttons which cleaned them up and thankfully didn’t ruin the minimal desk vibe! Commenting just as I’m about to order that rocket notebook! Thanks once again Andrew!

Not really premium but I found that old school pencils and a good sharpener really improves my desk. Before I was using ballpoint pens which I kept losing since all my coworkers use the same ones. Then I switched to propelling pencils but those keep breaking. The regular pencils are great! Simplicity that works is beautiful!

True. I'm using my sharpener since I was on college, some 13 years ago, it is one of my treasures that moves with me anywhere I go.

I think my favorite is the Blackwing Pencil Caddy Kit. My wife has really gotten into high-end fountain pens, and those really did not grab my attention, but for some reason those pencils do! I think they are reminiscent of me sitting with my Grandfather at his drafting table as a child.

I recommend Supernote A6X as an ink-tabled. Taking it with me and writing when I have something on my mind is just super helpful. This a good Time we live in.

My favourite accessory on my own modest desk has to be my orbit key desk mat. I like how it doubles as a paper filing system and cable manager :)

A mini version of the kinetic bowl will sell like crazy. I agree with the speaker and an additional white noise sound on the app and it will be bliss.

Cats would love that Drift Bowl! Probably chase and swat at the ball and turn it into a $400 litter box.

So much stuff on the desk would drive me crazy!

This is the video I've been looking for. Thanks for this. Great setup. My favorite on my desk is my M1 16" MacBook Pro! I'm now trying to reorganize my whole home workstation to be more ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing. Your video is great inspiration.

Great list Andrew - love your work. My Satechi leather mousepad is my (new) favourite accessory on my home setup. It's very simple, relatively inexpensive but super classy.

I still have the original BenQ desklight it’s 100% one of the best accessories you can get for you desk. It is completely game changing.

Love all your ideas 💡 As much as I try to take notes on my computer, I always grab paper 📃 ... love the notebook idea!

OmG is one of the most interesting setups I've seen on KZread. I loved all your accessories and the way you organized them. I bought a Protractor Desk at Barcelona Designs a week ago and, right now, I'm wondering if I should decorate it with a kinetic sand table like that, because it has really blown my mind. Simply fascinating. Thanks for the tour.

Yay! Thank you! The Protractor Desk looks interesting though you might need something wider for the Drift.

This looks to be a very fun topic to cover, always neat products coming along that can improve your desk setup. Thanks!

If you a musician get the Shure SM7B. A good rule of thumb is if your recording only use mic that connect via XLR cable. If it connects with a USB cable your audio will be very poor. For Podcasts though the USB will work just fine. Thanks for sharing all these cool gadgets!

My Favorite Accessory is my Porcelain Eye Glasses Holder. I have reading glasses for my desktop so I know where my glasses are every time I sit at my desk. it can also double as a catch all for smaller items. By the way, Great Video!

The drift bowl truly is rather unique, would appreciate one on display in the office or lounge room.

Nice video. Wish we all had enough cash to have a setup this nice :P One point of contention about that rocket notebook: Storing your notes in the cloud is not more environmentally friendly than storing them on paper. Trees grow back, and the only cost to storing your paper notes is space in your home. Storing notes digitally requires electrical energy as long as you store them, and the process of mining metals to build the physical hardware the notes will be stored on is significantly more environmentally destructive than logging and papermaking. edit: I've reached out to their customer service with my reasons for skepticism and their response was that they've done "no in depth research" to justify the claim that using a RocketNotebook is more ecologically friendly than using traditional notebooks.

I haven’t upgraded to any premium home office supplies or equipment yet, but your videos are peaking my interest.

Your desk setup is the object of dreams! Thanks for sharing :) I'll definitely go that way when kids grow up and the house gets uncluttered.

That notebook is badass

This is great... thanks to you I'm getting some kick ass pencils and -- I don't feel so bad as a techie now! your stuff is amazing...

@@thegreattheone 1. I’m not sure you understand what a hypothetical is, because I didn’t say anything hypothetical. 2. I will provide examples of hypothetical statements: Can you post to KZread without using electricity? Can you comment on KZread vids without using electricity? Do home devices like sand ball movers have a significant impact on the environment compared with other energy consumers, or is it completely negligible, making any virtue signaling comments about how the creator is contributing to climate change ignorant and misguided? These are more hypothetical. 3. Only like 25% of greenhouse gas emissions come from electricity production (in USA, 2020). Of that 25%, most comes from burning coal and natural gas instead of renewables. That is the important issue, and the computer you’re typing on, or the sand ball machine someone likes, is not. So maybe we should think in hypotheticals sometimes, and not be too rigid and literal

Great video - Have a question for you: I just upgraded from my 2012 MacBook Pro to a 2019 Intel. Budget, so this machine w/have to do for a while. My main interests of use are my growing desire to improve my graphic design skills & photo editing - both using Affinity Designer & Photo. I'd like to set up a desk/studio to use the new machine like a desktop w/a 4k display. My question is, would you recommend the TS4 or would the 3 be good enough w/the new(er) machine? Thank you in advance - I find your videos very informative!

The notebook is something I might actually grab up, what an amazing idea!

I love my G915 Logitech keyboard. Low profile and comfortable to use all day. I need the numpad, so it’s black, a white one (if ever released) would be perfect.

This video, as usual, was fantastic and provided me with numerous ideas and options for my own setup. Thanks, man. I am a first-year college student, so everything on my table is low-budget friendly, nothing to mention. If so, I'd think about my Dell Inspiron laptop and my table lamp as my own premium accessory😅.

The best note thing companion for me is my Tab S9 Ultra, perfect for everything really, I use it In university for taking notes but for also downloading pdf files and highlighting text and so on.

Reusable notebooks are great. When you pass away, every thought and record you have ever made is erased when you die like you never existed. But you saved a tree branch in an industry that plants 3 trees for every one it cuts down. So, you can feel good about yourself.

My favorite premium accessory is my MX Master 3 mouse because it is very ergonomic and has many features that help me complete tasks efficiently. Never left my side for two years. Techie.

Heyyy! Amazing video! I am currently building up my desk setup, and got some issues alraedy. Maybe you can help me sort this out! First think is what resolution monitor do you use, is it 4k? I bought 4k one, and plug int directly into my 2020 Macbook Pro with Displayport USBC cable and sometimes it does lag. I though maybe its case of my macbook, and maybe i should consider it to replace with M2/M1. Do you edit all videos and productions on your Air M2 Macbook on this turbo setup from the video? Can it handle it? Thanks for resposne and wish you luck!

Hey! Interesting suggestions, many thanks. The item I'm most interested in is the desk stand with the slim compartments for you macbook etc. Can you tell me where it's from? Greetings from Germany

Hi man, i love your desk shelf. Can you tell me what brand it is ? Thanks

would be amazing if the homedics drift bowl was able to be mounted with the sand staying in place.

A speaker in the drift would act as an eraser, faster or slower depending on the music and volume. It’d take a serious effort to isolate the speaker vibrations from the rest of the case. It would be cool but I don’t want to know how much more expensive it’d be. Should be easy enough to test the effect though

How does the Homedics Drift compare with the Sisyphus table? Saw that a few years ago and this seems cheaper
