14 desk setup upgrades that ACTUALLY matter

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    Because I primarily work from a desk
  • 0:02 - 0:03
    pretty much every single day,
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    sometimes spending up to 12 hours
  • 0:05 - 0:05
    at my desk,
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    depending on what I'm working on.
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    I've spent over ten years
  • 0:09 - 0:10
    creating different desk setups
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    where finding and adjusting continuing
  • 0:13 - 0:14
    to create the most ergonomic
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    and comfortable desk sets up
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    So I like to think I know a thing or two
  • 0:18 - 0:18
    about what
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    it takes to make a great desk set up.
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    In this video, I wanted to cover various
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    different desk setup upgrades
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    one should consider
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    when creating that own setup.
  • 0:26 - 0:27
    I want to make it clear though,
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    that you don't have to buy
  • 0:28 - 0:29
    every single thing
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    that I am mentioning in this video.
  • 0:31 - 0:31
    I just wanted to make
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    some recommendations.
  • 0:33 - 0:34
    You can choose whatever you like
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    based on your budget and your preferences.
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    First up is of course
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    the main centrepiece of the setup,
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    and that's the desk.
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    One major and very important factor
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    that everyone needs to consider
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    when purchasing a desk
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    is not actually the width of the desk,
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    but they should be considering
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    the depth of the desk.
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    So this is something I learned the hard way.
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    If your arms don't have support
  • 0:53 - 0:54
    your elbows don't have support,
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    and they're kind of just floating while so
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    using your keyboard or mouse
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    that can actually result in aching pains
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    in your trapezius muscles,
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    the muscle that are here and here
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    and you definitely dont want that.
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    So it's really important to consider
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    a desk that is deep enough
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    to rest your arms on.
  • 1:08 - 1:09
    Another solution to that
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    is to have arm rest.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    So if your chair has
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    ajustable arm rest
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    making the arm rest the same
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    height as your desk
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    can also make a big diffrence.
  • 1:17 - 1:18
    The desk i have here
  • 1:18 - 1:19
    is from Vernal, who are also
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    is sponsoring this video.
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    This is one from the new solid wood range
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    which is made from real Walnut.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    It look and feels absolutely incredible.
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    Im personally a huge fan of Walnut
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    I love the way it looks, I love the way it feels.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    It's a very premium luxirous wood.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    Great way to add some warmth to a setup.
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    I have the larger one here, which is
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    180 cm wide and 75 cm deep.
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    The depthof this desk is perfect as it has
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    enough space for my arms,
  • 1:45 - 1:46
    keyboard and mouse, whilst also being
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    able to easily fit
  • 1:48 - 1:51
  • 1:51 - 1:52
