So here I am working, and I get a notification for this RUclips video, stop working, and realize it’s a video how to focus. 😳🤣👍🏻 Great video, thanks! ❤

[@applaudmjusa]

Gary, you are truly an inspiration for Mac users!

[@RainAndSmiles]

Great and versatile tips 👍🏽 one handy hack with Focus/do not disturb is that you can activate focus modes for the duration of an event that is on Calendar, like a meeting. Personally I use the Stickies app a lot the same way you showed Notes floating over windows 👍🏽✨

[@AnilAtluriWord]

Gary you are amazing! With almost every tutorial of yours learning new ways of productivity using Mac in the Apple eco system. Especially for someone who migrates from a Windows to Mac and who's been there for like decades! Thanks buddy!

[@abudanish196]

Thanks man! Never knew all these existed.

[@Erin-Thor]

He does have a gift! 😊

[@stephenbridges2791]

Did not know about the background sounds. Cool.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

I think this channel really demonstrates a lot of the reasons people choose Macs. I'm always asked by people why I'm on Mac more than Windows, and it's things like these, the way everything works together so well for productivity, that keep me using my Macs.

[@jimalix6270]

Great video, Gary, with lots of useful tips. Thanks!

[@scottboettcher1344]

I didn't know about the background noises available; thanks Gary!

[@DerrickW30]

I really like the background sounds, even for sleeping at night (using my iPhone). I wish they would develop more choices.

[@maikaimakena9424]

What a great video so stoked I can learn from you.

[@desertpatient]

Thanks bunches

[@loisskiathitis8926]

I don’t work I’m retired! This is a very helpful and useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

[@wmarkj]

Thanks! Where can I obtain that monthly budget for Numbers?

[@macmost]

Do you mean the one that is a built-in template?

[@wmarkj]

@@macmostI thought that after sending lol. Thanks. I’ll look.

[@Ivan_1986]

Great video to be distracted from work with.

[@user-rw6qg3ii4z]

What would help my focus would be having an option to turn off the stupid blinking caret. There's an option to do it in some apps, like Terminal, but not in others, like Notes. It's weird that Macs have all these accessibility options to reduce motion, and there the blinking cursor is always blinking.

[@macmost]

That's a great question. And I have an answer for you! Could you ask it at macmost.com/ask as there's not enough room in RUclips comments (or good formatting) for me to properly answer.

Does anybody know any good android emulator that runs on Mac?? Bluestacks 5 don t believe will ever come...
