When Should You SHUT DOWN Your Mac? (it might surprise you)

Video Description

How often should you shut down or restart your Mac? Should you let it sleep instead? In this video I explore this topic in greater detail and also give my opinion on why you should NOT shut down your Mac every time you are finished using it! Your Mac performs a number of beneficial tasks and processes while it sleeps, and if you prevent this from happening, you may find your Mac's performance may suffer. I personally very rarely shut down my own M1 MacBook Air, and I'll share with you my reasoning.
