Time to say no to a lot of things now for me :)

the art of saying no This will be short, but personal, or at least personal in a way that I'm getting myself into the same hole all over again and again and rarely actually changing anything.

Ever notice how “just one more task” becomes ten—and suddenly every priority is a P1?

In @gutek.pl's latest post, he talks about the overload loop and how WIP limits helped me reclaim focus.

Nice one!

Maybe because it’s expensive? And you can use other tools that will do the same but also other things?

Chyba jestem już za stary i mi się po prostu nie chce

Jaki jest w ogóle sens tego co robimy? Żaden.

Chyba za dużo h włożyłem w ostatnie tygodnie i mam dość

And dell is hold by Secretlab MAGNUS Monitor Arm (Heavy Duty Edition)

It’s a pretty solid setup for now.

Need to just fix that mic :)

5/5

The only thing that is left is microphone that is on usb 😱 and dell only has two usb port for hub. There are two on the side but when cable is sticking out is really ugly! :) does not want it :)

4/n

Laptop uses usb-c/thunderbolt 4 on Kensington SD5780T and can use dell’s hub (keyboard, camera) and dell’s screen

Desktop is already connected and can use all peripherals

I have remapped keys on dell to switch between hdmi 1 and 2 with simple key press.

3/n

So, it has two USB upstream ports
- one to my desktop
- one to Kensington SD5780T (had that for some time already)

HDMI:
- one to pc
- one to Kensington SD5780T

My keyboard is connected to dell’s usb hub, as well as webcam

Track ball is on Bluetooth

2/n

Ok so I sorted out my kvm issue. All on the market are awful or expensive or both.

My current setup. My dell u3818dw kas simple kvm support however it has f up power issues.

1/n

does all good and feature full KVM's needs to be ugly?
