My Tech & Tools
Since I’m a Productivity, Tech, Gadget, and YouTube nut, I’m always trying out new tools.
📱 Phone
My daily driver is the Apple iPhone 14 Pro. (I tried the 12 Pro Max but it was just tooooo big for me), and the iPhone 12 mini was toooo small.
👨🏼💻 Computer
For years I’ve only used Apple’s Macbooks and my recent workhorse is the Macbook Pro 13″ with the M1 chip (it’s a video editing beast) along with My Passport external 2TB SSD drive.
⌨️ Keyboard
Lately I’ve been using the Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Pad. I love that it’s wireless, has fantastic tactile feel, is slim, and I rarely have to charge it. Works perfectly.
⌚️Apple Watch
For many years I didn’t even wear a watch. THEN (more out of curiosity) I got an Apple Watch and now I NEVER take it off (except to charge it). I have a series 7 and really love it… works great and keeps me in check! I HIGHLY recommend it. Plus you can get lots of different cool watch bands for it.
🎧 For My Ears
I use both the Airpods & the Airpods Pro and love them both. The sound quality is amazing and wireless is the ONLY way to go.
💻 My iPad Mini 6
This past year I’ve found myself working a LOT from my recently new iPad mini 6. It’s small, easy to hold in one hand, and has a powerful chip which makes it pretty amazing. Great for those late nights on the couch when I don’t want my laptop in my lap because I’m just running out of energy!
💳 For My Pocket
Still carrying a big thick wallet? Ya I used to. I always carried more stuff than I really needed so I scaled down to a “thin” wallet, and it’s trackable worldwide too! I got the Ekster Senate Cardholder and am glad I did.
