Works great even on the smaller screen on my laptop. Didn’t even know it existed, but today I was trying to clean up my system and streamline some work things and I discovered two things that I didn’t even know about:

1. Stage Manager

• App groups work better than separate desktops for me.
• One group of social media apps, one with my browser, one with the finder, or some variations of that. They are dynamic and whatever I need was probably recently used so it’s just waiting for me off to the side to drag over to the current group if I need it. Goes home just as easily. Just flick it over there and it’s gone, but available.

1. Stacks

• A stack on my dock for work apps and frequently accessed folders, another for apps, reading materials, text editors, another stack for social media
• I had never liked the dock really at all, this finally actually makes it useful for me and in ways superior to what had always been my favorite (controversially) way of doing things… just a standard-ass Windows 95 start button organized with folders

Between the two of these things, I am actually able to do everything way faster than I had been. I’m sure if I put the time in I could have figured out how to make spaces, launchpad, mission control, various other MacOS features streamline like this, but I never was able to. It’s all so basic but suddenly I’m actually able to do work fluently and stay organized which I really hadn’t been able to do since switching to MacOS years ago.
