A 24-inch monitor that would maximize the screen space so you were not confined to the laptop. An external PC was the WFH compulsory, especially as it motivated you to sit at the desk.
And a monitor riser with four USB ports as sometimes you wanted a little extra height *and* some extra ports. You could also store other supplies and gadgets under the riser.
A slim laptop stand that would raise the laptop and bring it closer to eye level, especially handy if you utilize it with the desktop monitor. This is good for the overall ergonomics of the setup, but it is also certain the laptop gets ventilation and does not overheat.
A chic, waterproof desk mat — it’s likely to be a mouse pad, but huge enough for the keyboard or laptop to fit, too. It supported tying the complete space together visually while also protecting the desk from spills and stains.
A six-outlet wall charger and surge protector, which doubled as the night-light with the dusk-to-dawn sensor — it automatically turned on when ambient light in the zone was not enough to see. It’s designed to handle those annoying, bulky chargers, PLUS it had 2 USB fast-charging ports, signifying you could finally put an end to the regular routine of unplugging and plugging stuff underneath the desk.
A pair of blue-light–blocking glasses, as we all stare enough at the phone screens as it is without adding on another 8 hours of staring at our PC, with more time spent in video calls than interacting IRL with people when you WFH. These lenses protect you from blue light that could cause eye headaches and strain and even mess up the sleep cycle.
A memory foam gel pad to offer intuitive support for the wrists and ignore the pains that come out with typing at the computer all day, particularly if you were just working on the laptop or slim keyboard. Seriously, once you get wrist pads, there is no going back.
An adjustable foam footrest to place under the desk, giving the feet a soft yet firm support. It essentially brings out the floor to you, extremely supportful if you were on the short side and the feet do not easily lay flat on the floor! And if you tended to get restless throughout the day, you could flip it over and rocking back and forth.
A Bluetooth speakerphone if you were still relying on the laptop speakers for the video calls. This would noticeably read the audio by lessening background noise and enhancing the speech, and you would hear the colleagues in a clearer way as well, making it an improvement for everyone involved.
A well made phone holder that making it *so* much easier if you took video calls for working on the phone — or for taking those midday breaks to scroll up TikTok. You could prop the phone up horizontally or vertically and keep it charging at the same time!
A Pocketbook smart reusable notebook you could fill with handwritten notes, then blast them straight to the smart device for storage, wipe the pages cleaned, and start over. Not only would you be able to looking back on them for their own reference, but it *also* signify you would be able to send notes from that significant Zoom meeting straightway to the boss as the attachment and look in super way organized.
A super lightweight ergonomic lap desk for when you wanted to move the “office” to the couch or bed, as it was just one of those days. That said, it also works well at the desk, with the anti-slip wrist pad for comforting and to block the laptop from sliding down. Plus, a handy storage slot in the back is designed to prop up the tablet or phone.
Or an adjustable, bigger laptop tray table that folded up when not in usage. It serves plenty of space for a huge notebook, laptop, phone, an iPad (thanks to the tray at the top), *and* tiny stuff like glasses and pens thanks to the side drawer. It could be set to 5 different heights and 4 different angles, so you could really customize it for comfort.
An electric mug warmer if you love me, getting distracted while working and sipping the early sun shine coffee so slowly, it ended up going cold before you finished it. With this electric warmer, you could happily enjoy the hot, caffeinated drink for hours.
A desktop whiteboard that fits in that little space between the keyboard and monitor for penning up quick notes, ideas, or even inspirational messages for yourself as that WFH grind is not easier. A tiny pull-out drawer holded the dry-erase markers and small accessories!
