Get Organized - How to Organize Your Life and Spend More Time Doing what you Love
Getting organized in today's chaotic world can be life-changing, as it removes some of the mental "noise" and provides more time to do the things you love. I'm far from perfect in this regard, but I wanted to share how I stay organized working from home and juggle life, family, a full-time job, friends, and creating low-grade nonsense on UA-cam.

Is Fujifilm garbage? Why I'm switching to Sony for my video and photography
Late to the party but my tip is to use the Apple focus settings. At 18:00 on weekdays my “personal” group is enabled. This turns off my notifications for things like work email, work WhatsApp and Zoom. Using shortcuts and automation it also turns off my work SIM. At 08:00 “personal” ends and everything switches back on. The great thing about this is it synchronises across all my Apple devices so you set it up once and never have to think about it again. As a bonus tip I also disable the badges for work apps when in “personal” as I found I was tempted to keep jumping back into email because I could see unread emails.
That's a great tip, and the party is still going so you're just "fashionably late!"
Thanks for Sharing, need to get mine done .. the surgeon said I have both sides left right and one developing at the belly button that's small
Good luck! It was pretty straightforward and fairly fast recovery. Hopefully they get you fixed up quickly!
@TheBigHeavy thank you 😊 neverous about the surgery making a sort of a face because I smoke and smoking makes complications. I'll update here help others who would read in future. 😊thanks again
Thank you for candidly explaining your real life experiences.
nice video. how are you able to switch one monitor to be used as a 2nd monitor on your work laptop and an external monitor on your personal laptop?
I have two USB-C cables, be from each monitor. If I’m going 2 screens on one computer (usually my MacBook) I plug in both monitors to one computer. If I’m doing two laptops, each gets one USB-C plug.
Second time watching, still great. Who is your ceiling fan? How is the sound level? I am thinking of upgrading mine, with something as quiet as possible. Thanks for your help.
The one I have is by Modern Forms which is essentially a sub-brand of WAC. Here's the exact one I installed: amzn.to/4cK04MP. It's very quiet (basically, you just hear the air moving depending on speed) and connects to WiFi and my home automation system, although the automation side seems to lose the connection more often than I'd like.
let me know if this delta 2 can run a nuwave oven 1,500w please thanks. planing getting a delta 2 soon.
I'm not familiar with the Nuwave oven, but it will run a Nespresso machine (I think I have a video on that somewhere) which pulls between 700-1900W when it's brewing (about 3 minutes). You're not going to get much runtime, maybe 35 minutes or so depending on whether the oven pulls watts the whole time or cycles on and off.
@@TheBigHeavy thanks!:-)
Great video, something I want to add ... be careful of coworkers who "live to the job". Even before watching this video I tried to instill a hard rule to shutdown my laptop at 5pm... but often I would be in a call with a project manager that started at 4:30pm ... many times we would still be on the phone past 5pm, its like he was oblivious the working day had ended. I got sick of this after a while and made abrupt excuses once the clock when past 5pm such as "right I've got to head out, I need to collect the kids" ... this worked fine and I recommend it if you have a teams call that is drifting past your allocated hours.
I hear you on that one. There are too many people that think time at work automatically equals quality output at work and try and put that on others. I'll usually let people know I have a "hard stop" when I have to pickup the kids. You can do this in a nice way, or if they're "repeat offenders" you can even schedule another meeting at 5PM and tell them you have to run.
Comsidering the same. Are you happy after living with it? I hate the pouros concrete. Epoxy floors get eaten by oils in tires. Race decks look bad soon. .. porcelain sounds like a great idea.
I'm very happy, and as a former Race deck (well, the Costco knock off version) I agree with you on all counts. I have another video with a 5-year review that may be worth watching. The install wasn't easy, but maintenance is pretty good (I mop every 6-12 months and otherwise just sweep/vac), it still looks great, and I get a little smile everytime I walk into the shop/gym!
Maybe the reason you not making money of your videos the because you start the video putting people down just because they have a different setup than yours, plenty of people have “real jobs” and have cook desk stations
Thanks for the comment. Be well!
I am a student currently studying in Germany and my done is registered in Germany. I am going to Paris for a vacation. Do I need to register my drone in France for that? Many thanks in advance 🙏
With the disclaimer that “Some guy on the internet told me it was OK!!” likely won’t work with the French police, my understanding is that registering in any EU country allows you to fly in all of them since they harmonized their drone rules a few years ago. As mentioned in other comments, be sure to check out géoportail as there are very few places you can fly in France and especially Paris.
Thank you very much! It’s a great idea!
You’re welcome. Try it out and hope it works for you. It’s free and easy and surprisingly powerful in my experience.
1:39 What’s that digital pomodoro timer, it looks really cool
It’s this little guy: amzn.to/3SUqEM9
@@TheBigHeavy Awesome, thank you very much, is it worth 40 bucks ?
It’s neat in that you tip it on a side of the cube to start the timer, and it’s rechargeable so you don’t need to worry about batteries. It also does the same thing as a dollar store mechanical kitchen timer. So, neat if you like using cool stuff in your office and $40 isn’t a big deal. Certainly not neat/worthwhile if $40 means your kids don’t have shoes or you have to wait to buy fresh drawers.
@@TheBigHeavy LOL, I DO like cool stuff, I'll put it on my Amazon wish list and wait for a Prime Day miracle 🤣
This actually helpful information to start I struggled a lot with influencers and designers, as there were no specific steps to follow. Thank you

Waiting for the gas charged battery. Bam
EcoFlow has a gas generator that connects to their power banks, and communicates charge state so when the power bank runs low, it fires up the gas genny. Pretty interesting (albeit expensive) solution.
Yeah, i thought about the same thing. Partial solution for me was buying a fast charging battery. Camp places i go to have showers and power plugs. I take my fast charging battery that takes 1hr for 1024wh to the facility and charge while i am there.
I have the same requirement... 2 monitors mapped to 2 laptops, both monitors to be used by either one laptop or one each. How do you do it without a USB hub or docking station with a KVM switch?

Nice camping spot for a human? Trying to ignore the down talk on ppl who want to live a different lifestyle while living more simply and then you go into speaking about yourself as a human...kinda weirding me out
Ummmm, I am indeed a human, and I was trying to convey that it’s a great spot if you’re a person, not great if you’re a solar panel that performs best in full sun. Not sure what you’re referring to about different lifestyles.
@TheBigHeavy no worries. I enjoyed your video😊
First time viewer... Absolutely superb video! "I'll be back" 😂
Come for the info, stay for the low-grade antics!
Very nice!! Thanks! Now the drone and I planning to visit later this month are French/EU compliant. I think/hope...
Enjoy your trip!
Hi, for A2 certification, did you manage to find the training course? Where can I find these info which are needed for the A2 exam?
It should be on Alpha Tango. There are a few different videos and things you need to watch but ultimately everything is on alpha tango.
Your explanation of the signal booster has really deepened my understanding of it. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks
Thanks for stopping by. Be well!
I watched a couple other videos on EU drone registration and none of them are as clear and concise as yours, this helped me through all the different steps very thoroughly and I love how you included your own insights! This is truly a lifesaver of a video and helped me get my Air 2S registered 10/10!
Glad it helped!
Will completing all of the updates clear out Forscan mods that have been made? I’m guessing that it will but just thought I’d verify.
Yes, and it's recommended you back out any Forscan updates. I goofed up the kick switch on my retractable running boards that I need to fix but haven't gotten around to just yet.
Are you serious?
Sometimes
Which battery charger did you use? Thanks
I use a Norco one but it’s not great as it’s only 2A. This is what I’d recommend: amzn.to/37m7s4I

Your two video's on this subject have been very helpful for my install. Question on the power part of the install. Where did you attach the negative wire from the Amazon amp kit? I have a 2022 F-150 and I know due to aluminum body I have to be careful to where I ground (Black wire negative) to the vehicle. Thanks. 73 & God Bless
There’s a ground point behind the rear seat, at least in my F-150 with the B&O radio. The sub is tied to this ground.

I work from home 1xweek and at the office 4x. I have recently started studying and I noticed that if I try to study when I get home (7pm) I am just too tired and stressed out, and I'll have so many chores around the house that I just lose track and never sit down and actually study. We'll, it's been a week since I've started going to sleep early and waking up at 4:50am to get some study time before my 9-5, although waking up early is not that easy it has been sooo great! No one is awake at 5 so I get a lot of peace and quiet, and when I get home I get some house chores done and go to sleep without feeling stressed out and trying to open up books and classes. The tips you gave are so true! Having a schedule and a calendar is amazing as long as you're not too busy keeping up with it, and having a desk setup that is comfortable is a must!!!!
Excellent! I'm glad it's working out for you! I don't know that many (or any) of us are naturally early risers but it's definitely something that can be learned and has such a great return that it's worth a couple weeks of pain to get on a morning schedule. Keep up the good work!
@@TheBigHeavy it was not natural at all 😹 first few days are brutal, but as long as u go to bed early, it’s doable
Do you know if any firmware updates changed the kick on and off settings since this video?
There’s still a setting to enable/disable, and to my knowledge you still need to ride for some low distance before you can turn kick to start off. The newer firmware does seem to make the regen a little better, although it still comes on strong when you grab the brake levers.
How do you know if you passed, I got an 85 it didn't say if I passed or not.
You should have a certificate available to view/print.
Thanks for your video, I'm in the UK and would love one of these units. Dieter Rams is a creative genius and these are design classics. The story of Dieter and his work with Braun in post-war Germany is fascinating and makes sense now more than ever (his 10 principles of design below). Like Eames, they have a simple and transparent manufacture and distribution model. Don't accept any fakes folks, these are works of art that will serve and delight you for life. Is innovative Makes a product useful Is aesthetic Makes a product understandable Is unobtrusive Is honest Is long-lasting Is thorough down to the last detail Is environmentally friendly Involves as little design as possible
I hear they are cheaper in the UK so hopefully there's some Vitsoe in your future! Despite my tongue-in-cheek description they really are beautifully designed shelving. It's the perfect expression of the old bromide that "less is more."
Cheaper than the $160 diagnostic charge at the dealer
Very true!

Tom Cruise has approved this message.
@@TheBigHeavy lol. Speaking of Tom would you consider trying to puncture this battery to see if it catches on fire? I’m on the fence of buying it but it doesn’t have a ton of reviews and I don’t know if it’s because it’s so new or what.
This is the only pack I have with this technology, so I'm hesitant to destroy it, but I'd be willing to ask the company if they'd send me an SST cell and I'd try putting a couple rounds through it to see what happens. I'm a bit spooked by Lithium batteries after watching too many videos and having too many of these things around the house!

Glad to help. Keep on rocking in the free world!
Thanks! For your great advice. I’m headed to the Normandy region in 2 weeks. What’s the best airspace app to use in France? Thanks again. Jeff Voigt
Thanks! Definitely get the géoportail app. There’s a setting to show only drone airspace and it’s significantly more restricted than what the DJI or similar apps show. Also be ready for seagull attacks! I had grand plans of doing some drone video in the basque region since you can fly along the shoreline, but the seagulls swarmed about 90 seconds after I took off and then circled overhead even after I landed.
Just purchased the Delta 2 with extra battery bundle for 900 bucks he wasn't lying about the sales, and I used a 100-dollar discount code feeling super blessed.
I’ve been working from home for the past 20 years. Your setup is what I’d refer to as “cute” or “‘valiant effort”
Hey, I’ve been called a helluva lot worse than cute and valiant!
Had a garage look at my Ford Transit Connect 2019, which had a engine replacement in 2022, FDRS was used and found a issue with some injectors and all the parameters where reset, and PCM was also reset, the van was noisy and after high pressure fuel pump reset, and EGR reset, van is very quiet and drives like new 👍
It’s crazy how much the computers control the engine and do the diagnostics work.
I’ve watched quite a few videos on the Delta 2 since I’ve just purchased one,and yours is the absolute best.Well done!
Appreciate the feedback!
Just a tip on Ford Lightning...tiny 12v lead acid battery gets totally whipped by the IPMA update. You will need at least 30-40 amp charger to keep the battery charged enough and power supplied to finish the update. If you cannot find a charger that large, you can hook up two 15a or 20a chargers, in series, to the charging posts
Hugely helpful review. Thank you. Could you tell us the dimensions of units you installed? It looks like you used two of the "wide" bays and one of the "narrow" bays. Is that right? What was the overall length, depth and height of the finished shelving? Thanks in advance.
I did indeed do two wide and one “standard.” I’m on an RV trip so don’t have the exact dimensions but they should be on the Vitsoe website.
Unfortunately my activation failed after following your steps exactly. Not a good start with mongoose..
The mongoose activation or FDRS? I’ve heard of people getting a used/refurbished mongoose that says it’s already been registered, which should affect actual use. On FDRS the servers occasionally go down and if you contact the customer service they’ll apparently extend your license. I’ve had this happen a couple times and unfortunately the only recourse is to wait for Ford to fix their tech (usually in a few hours) and try again.
@@TheBigHeavy The mongoose activation process (never got to the FDRS part). Called the support # today and after trying a few things on 2 separate laptops they believe the unit is "faulty". so, now in the process of a full amazon refund that will likely take weeks to compete. once complete, i can re-order and try again i guess.
Thank you very much for an in depth review. It was a pleasure to watch. It would be great if you could include one minute video of the final result---the shelf installed on the wall.
Check out the office unveil video as that should have some addition shots of the completed shelving.
