So I'm very used to switching between these three views whether I'm at my desk or using my MacBook Pro.

A desktop and then Safari full screen and Mail and Messages in a Split View.
MAC MULTIPLE DESKTOPS PRO
So I have a MacBook Pro that I carry around with me everywhere. Now I do exactly this same thing on my laptop. I can usually switch between this Mail and Messages View, to Safari, and into my desktop and everything else. So this looks a little different here in my Demo account than it does on my regular account. But when I'm presenting I'm using the 1280 by 720 Retina display so that all the text doesn't look super small when you view these videos.

I do that on my Mac when I'm normally working. In other words it's the equivalent to 1920 by 1080 but Retina display. I'm usually using the full 4k resolution. Keep in mind that when I do tutorials I'm using a very different resolution. I have Mail take up most of the space there and I have the Messages app here on the right. Now instead of having those on two separate screens, Messages really doesn't need that much space, I actually use Split View. So everything I need to do in terms of web browsing is off in its own space. But I have sequestered two apps, actually three, off into other spaces. I use it just like you would normally use a single desktop. If I'm working on something it's probably in a window on this desktop. I have one regular desktop and everything goes there. I'm going to activate Mission Control and Control up arrow here and you could see what I've got. Now on my main screen I started using multiple desktops. There should only be things on that side screen that increase my productivity not decrease it. I make sure never to put things like Mail or Safari over there. I really wanted to go with one 4K screen in the middle but I found that I really needed to access things like a Finder window with all my files or while I'm recording one of these tutorials some notes in a text file and it was great to have those off to one side. Then I took my older smaller 4K screen, turned it vertical, and put it on the side. So the new screen is a larger 4K screen right in the middle. I now have two 4K screens in front of me hooked to my Mac Pro. Sometimes it's best to have that information hidden until you actually go to look at it. After all every new email and every new message that came in I could see all the time no matter what I was doing. But recently I've been reading more about productivity and learned that it's probably not a great idea to have all this information in front of you. This allowed me to see everything I want so I had all sorts of windows open. If you use multiple screens or spaces hopefully I'll give you some ideas that you can use.įirst I have to say that for years I had three screens, a 4k screen in the middle of my desk and two 1080 screens rotated vertically on either side. Also how I use spaces otherwise known as multiple desktops on my Mac, not just my main Mac but my MacBook Pro. This time I want to talk about how I use multiple displays with my Mac.
