I’ve been using the platform for years and managed a few channels along the way, so I’ve gone through the beginner phase, dealt with messy uploads, and watched many YouTube tutorials on how to use, well, YouTube. 

In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything step by step. We’ll look at how to use YouTube as a beginner and then proceed to creating a channel, uploading videos, using YouTube Studio, and growing over time.

Before we go into the details, here’s a quick overview:

Now we want to reintroduce ourselves to them.

We’re welcoming a new option: single-app subscriptions. It’s for people who prefer to get apps, just like they do when they buy directly from a developer’s store. It’s also for those who want to know their money goes to the apps they actually use.

Simply put, it’s for users who want to get apps the way they want to.

So, what is the single-app option? 

The idea of 250+ curated apps for one price can feel overwhelming for those who rely on just one or a few essential tools. On the other side, there are developers who wanted to join Setapp but preferred a more individual revenue model.

• Quick fix: Delete unneeded photos, videos, and old backups. Empty Trash.

• Advanced fix: Use CleanMyMac (for Macs) or CleanMy®Phone (for iPhones) to remove junk, duplicates, and large files; manually sort iCloud Drive for outdated files.

  If you’re anything like me, you’ll have had a few different models of iPad and no doubt be aware that they’re not all the same. Why is it good to know? Well, it’s especially important to be aware of different iPad versions, as it makes shopping for accessories and checking for software compatibility much easier.

  Stay tuned. I’ll discuss all iPad versions and their differences, as well as how to transfer data between them so you can move data across without a hitch each time you upgrade.

But, I’ve found that printing out my study materials is super helpful. When I’m deep into a course, jotting down notes and summarizing things on paper just feels right. Maybe it’s a millennial thing, but actually, holding a document helps the information stick better for me. 

  Yet we’re printing less than ever, to the point where many of us don’t know how to print front and back on a Mac. And this means using twice as much paper. 

  But don’t worry. My guide will show you how to print double-sided on your Mac so your documents look their best and save a few trees in the process.

  But when it comes to SSMS for Mac, things get a bit tricky — there’s no native macOS version, leaving those of us who live and breathe (like me!) SQL queries to explore other options. 

  If you’re on the hunt for an SSMS alternative for Mac, rest assured there are plenty of tools out there that match your needs and provide a few extra perks along the way.

  What is SSMS?

  SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is an all-in-one tool developed by Microsoft to manage SQL server databases. With it, users can connect to, design, run SQL queries, and perform access-level-dependent database maintenance work.

And I’m no exception. Having to create content almost every day, I can say for sure that writing isn’t just about sitting back and waiting for inspiration. Sometimes, it’s even more about meeting deadlines. Really tight ones. That’s why I’m always on the hunt for secrets to getting more done with less work. The faster, the better. 

  Let me explain what bothers me the most. Instead of feeling fulfilled when I finish my work at the end of the day, I feel drained. Squeezed lemons are much better, I guess. All because of constant distractions and overwork. 

  So when I saw “Deep work: Rules for focused success in a distracted world” by Cal Newport on a bookshelf, I knew I’d devour it in a few evenings. The title immediately caught my attention. I definitely wanted more focus and success in my life. Who wouldn’t?

  You’ve known about the deadline for a while, but there’s always been something more important, like that video you were tagged in or that endless debate on Twitter. Now panic has set in. You can’t focus for long enough to get the project done, and it seems like you’re going to miss the cut-off.

  Okay, breathe. Stay calm. With a bit of organization, you’ll be right back on track. Here’s what you need to do.

  1. Declutter your workspace

  A cluttered space is a cluttered mind. Although some mess is commonly thought to be a sign of creativity, we’re talking about staying on task here, and having loads of stuff all up in your space isn’t good for focus.

Constant access to everything we could ever want to see makes it harder to work uninterrupted: but how to block online distractions and keep on track?

But sometimes, you just need to prevent some messages, calls, or other ways of communication from getting through. That’s what you need to do when you’re receiving spam, scams, harassing, or undesired messages on Mac. But how do you block a contact on Mac? And stop those annoying messages for good?

Yet we have to do it for work, side projects, and staying connected with those that matter to us. 

  In the past five to 10 years, app developers started implementing various ways of easing the eye strain into their apps.

  The most common option is dark mode. If you’re using an app late at night or with minimum lighting around, the contrast between the dark environment and the bright screen will make you feel tired faster. Darkening the app’s interface balances out the contrast and makes those late-night working sessions more palatable.

In fact, they’re so underused that by default when you press a function key it doesn’t act as a function key at all. Instead, it performs its other duty, whether that’s media playback control, brightness adjustment, or invoking Launchpad or Mission Control. To use a function key as a function key, you must hold down the fn button at the bottom left of your keyboard.

Since there’s no Disney+ app for Mac, you’ll need to stream in a browser and can’t download shows there.

He says, “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.” When we find peace in it, we can escape our suffering. This makes me think: why do I keep waiting for some perfect moment to enjoy life? Isn’t today what I’ve got?
