My Premium Resume Package: jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/premium-resume-package
🌟 Here are literally the first 18 things I always do on a new Macbook Pro
Right out of the box there are actually a lot of settings I recommend you DISABLE (e.g. true tone and slight dimming)
Apple thinks they know best sometimes, but they don’t 😏
We then move on to 1-time Finder setting changes that will help you become more productive in the long run
Finally, I end with the 8 Mac apps I always install on new Macbooks that make the Mac experience just that much better!
