Back in 2010, a series of events made me ditch PCs once and for all. I made the jump to a Mac and never looked back. I even created a few amusing [cartoons](https://www.philsimon.com/the-transition/) to chronicle my journey.

It went well. One month after getting my first MacBook Pro, I visited the Apple Store in Wayne, NJ. The genius there asked me how many years I had used Macs. He didn't believe me when I said only a month.

Yeah, it was a match made in heaven.

Since that time, I've spent thousands of hours on my Macs. I've noodled with different settings, installed some great third-party apps, and developed and refined an ideal way of working. This method:

- Eliminates distractions.
- Allows me to routinely achieve flow state.
- Keeps me organized.
- Lets me easily locate files and conversations.
- Maximizes my productivity.

During Zoom screenshares, my clients have often asked me to explain how I did something on my Mac. Of course, I would show them. A few even booked an hour with me to show them most of the most useful clubs in my bag. Their feedback was exceptionally positive.

Today, I've decided to formally offer my Mac Power Hour to the world. New Mac users and even experienced ones will benefit a great deal. I promise.
