If nothing distracts me (like an alert popping up in front of my face), hours can fly by without me noticing anything but the project absorbing me at the time. You see, I tend to get “in the zone” when I’m working. Why? Because I’m a cotton-headed-ninny-muggins, that’s why.Īnd why was this a big deal anyway? Why did it matter which screen the notifications appeared on? Well, perhaps my peripheral vision is lacking because I was consistently not seeing the incoming notifications, and that was not optimal. No thought given that this could be changed. Because the MacBook Pro to my right was the actual machine doing the work, and the other displays were just dummy screens, it made perfect sense to me that notifications would appear there. My current display set-up has my 2018 MacBook Pro to my right and two 27″ ASUS screens, one to my left and one directly in front of me. I sunk to a new low of cluelessness as it never even occurred to me that I could move the pop-up alerts to one of the other several monitors I use. I didn’t actually forget how to make Notifications appear on a different display, but that’s only because I had never done it before. Well, the awkwardness plagues me once again, but not in quite the same way. Something I should have known how to do because I had done it dozens of times before and completely forgot. I posted an article a while ago, admitting my shameful ignorance when it came to How to Move the Dock from One Monitor to Another on a Mac because it was something so simple.
