You know what I loved about this? So many of these “desk” or “office” setups are done by some wealthy “under 30 year old” you tuber. They all honestly the exact same thing. Every one of these uses the mahogany wood and the exact same products. Yours was different. It was unique… obviously, you cared more about how the space works for YOU… vs loading the space up with LEDs and Grovemade peripherals. Nice job. As a 50 year old guy… I enjoyed the REALISTIC approach to your use and presentation.

When you grow older , you realise , your wife wont give you a room in the main house , so as we all must find newer spaces . like the attic and the basement or the garage to build our lil man cave , 'The Space that works for us '

finally a setup not just for video gaming but for productivity and peace of mind. Thank you.

The best "man cave" I've seen so far. Congrats - it's great, considering the space available.

Finally a real setup and not some copy and paste gaming setup. Love this room, I could get some work done here and feel comfortable. My favorite setup I've seen on KZread and I've seen a lot of them. Well done!

Thanks Alex. What a nice thing to say!!! And delighted youve subscribed. Everyone is welcome here

You’ve given me so many ideas! I’ve been binging office setup videos because I’m doing an update of my space and I have to agree with the other commenters that yours is one of the few that’s outside of the box. I really think you’re onto something with the stations. I realized a while ago if I had to bring my laptop downstairs and hook it up to my headset, I played so much less VR than if I had a computer that I left there. I told myself it wasn’t necessary since it only takes a minute but I just found myself doing it a lot less (I use VR games like Beat Saber as a workout, so that’s a negative for me lol) I think I need to incorporate that into my other spaces as well and make some stations. Thanks!! I’ll definitely check out your other videos 😊

What I loved about this video is that it is realistic in terms of cost (with the camera exceptions lol). As a Solution Architect in the IT industry, I love it!

I really enjoyed this. It's great to see just desk setups, but I love tours of multifunctional spaces like this. Thanks for sharing.

I discovered you a few days ago and have binged almost all your videos (I have a baby so it's as much of a binge as I can manage). I'm probably not your expected audience for your content but as someone who is very into EDC, watches, gear, and is gearing up to go back to the workforce soon it's nice to see someone with EDC that takes into account packing things for the kids. Looking forward to all your future videos!

Fantastic video - clean and informative. Thank you. The section I personally struggle with is a reading space - I flip between separating my office workspaces from my books/library reading - and then merging them again. I dont have it right yet. I find that if you dont reduce friction (and distraction) reading time tends to go down super quickly.

In my own room I have productivity dojo just for work, a writing nook, a relaxation space, and a music corner. Your take on having a constantly set up KZread space and relentlessly clean work surface really resonates with me. I find minimizing friction is the best cheat code for maximizing efficiency. I'd love to know more about the 15 minute nap and its benefits. You seem to be somewhat of an expert lol and I'm interested to your insight on it Cheers!
