Mac – multiple desktops

22 April 2023 By Bel

I’ve been using MacBook Pros for well over a decade. However, it was only this week that I discovered the multiple desktops feature.

A bit late to the party, but I’m definitely making up for lost time. This feature was definitely designed for me. I didn’t know it existed until Tuesday this week. But now that I’ve found it, I’m mighty glad to have it.

A change of scenery

11 January 2023 By Bel

I spent today working from my new ‘office’.

I’ve signed up for a subscription that entitles me to several days a month working from my choice of beautiful office buildings in Amsterdam.

It’s a nice way to experience different work environments. This is one of the benefits of the hybrid work culture ushered in by the covid pandemic.

Some days I work from home. Other days I go to my company’s offices. And now, I have a third option – I take my pick from any number of well designed, unique, Amsterdam buildings.

Today, I worked in a building on one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful canals. I was shown to a nice, private office where I worked undisturbed for the whole day. The wifi was excellent, and so my video meetings went smoothly. There was a coffee machine close by, also stocked with decaf capsules. (A plus point in my book, as that is the only ‘coffee’ I drink.)

All told, a lovely day at work. Looking forward to many more.
