2 years into working remotely, you spend less on commuting, gas, clothes, shoes, eating out; and spend MORE on housing and work-from-home must-haves.
If you’re like most of the employees who were sent home by their employees due to the scare caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, one of your first thoughts was probably how in the world you could adjust to this apparent unexpected work-from-home setup.
The urgency to give employees access to all the devices and tools they’d need to work was one thing. But to carve a space in your home dedicated for work plus equip it with some office furniture essentials was another.
Tables and chairs are the primary commodities for remote workers in a home office environment. While investing in these two could provide the office convenience you used to have, the following are some things that can incredibly turn your typical workday to a convenient and productive one.
-
Laptop Support Stand and Adjustable Laptop Table
Sitting for several hours a day from your computer may cause poor posture and neck issues. Thus, getting a stand for your device can incredibly improve the posture of all work-from-home employees.
-
Wireless Noise-Canceling Headset
For those whose work involves talking with remote co-workers, clients, or bosses, a pair of noise-canceling headphones is the nitty-gritty for an excellent audio experience.
-
Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard
These two are fundamentals for portability and cross-device compatibility, especially for those on hybrid work setup.
-
Tea and Coffee Maker
The smell of fresh coffee brewing in the morning is a typical scene for employees in the office. Get your own tea or coffee maker to not miss this instant “wake-up” brought by coffee in the morning.
-
Blue Light Computer glasses
This is another WFH essential. Blue light computer glasses are designed to help reduce eye strain which can be caused by extended computer usage.
-
Essential Oil Diffuser
Essential oil brings soothing effects which support rest and recovery among remote workers.
-
Tumbler
It can be easy to get overwhelmed when you’re in front of your computer. Hence, keeping a tumbler at bay is a great reminder to keep yourself hydrated all the time.
