Two things:

1 - An additional monitor. Before I used to work on just my laptop. Now I have a 24" monitor on the side. I use it for offloading non-essential tabs and windows, and it makes working so much easier. I'm considering getting another monitor for the same reason.

2. Clearing and cleaning my desk at the end of the day, so it looks tidy and all non-essential things are removed. For me, a tidy desk == tidy mind :)

I’d add that an ultra wide monitor is great in general, but even more so when you’re M1 Mac can only have one external screen.

I recommend a Display Link dock. Just started work with an M1 MacBook last week and I can power 3 external monitors with it, no real issues after the first day (they're releasing updates to the driver regularly at the moment).

Is that true? One external screen? What rationale did they offer for that?

I have two external AOC monitors that are USB only - power and everything - they are fantastic. light, portable...

I have an HP Omen laptop that is bomb, and then I have two addtional screens that only use USB ports... I love this setup.
