7 Gadgets to Buy that Enhances Your Work-From-Home Setup

A conducive work environment is vital for productivity. How a working space looks and feels can impact an employee’s performance.

However, due to the pandemic, everyone had to retreat into their homes. And as the name suggests, a work-from-home employee works from (you guessed it) at home.

While office staff may have gotten used to customizing their tiny cubicles, there are so many things you can do with your work-from-home setup.

To get you started, here are some ideas to enliven your home office:

Clean Your Belongings With a Sterilizer Box

The pandemic is far from over.

As sad as that sounds, keeping your space clean is of utmost importance.

After all, you never truly know where your hands (and other people’s hands, for that matter) have been.

Who knows? You could be touching dirty surfaces and transferring diseases without knowing.

One way to get rid of this bacteria is to purchase a UV-C sterilizer box. With it, you can sanitize your glasses, face masks, car keys, accessories, and even your phones!

Keep Your Eyes Healthy With Screen Bars and Desk Lamps

Keep Your Eyes Healthy With Screen Bars and Desk Lamps

Your eyes are arguably the most important body part for remote work.

If you have a regular 9-to-5 shift, you are perhaps looking at your computer screen most, if not the entire time.

Thus, don’t neglect the importance of good lighting.

This helps prevent eye strain. Seriously, your pair of peepers will thank you.

Getting a screen bar for your monitors will light up dark areas while reducing glare if some parts are too bright.

Also, while you’re at it, invest in a good-quality desk lamp.

This fixture is especially useful for employees who either have an early or graveyard shift.

Make sure to purchase a lamp with varying levels of brightness, and one that utilizes eye-caring techniques.

Maintain a Good Posture With a Laptop Stand

Maintain a Good Posture With a Laptop Stand

You won’t obviously need a laptop stand if you have a desktop computer.

However, if you feel like working at a cafe, then having a laptop stand is handy.

It prevents you from slouching all day, which affects your posture and often results in neck pain, and brings your laptop to eye level.

Protect Your Privacy By Using a Screen Protector

Protect Your Privacy Using a Screen Protector

One of the best things about being a remote worker is that it allows you to work from anywhere.

While such an arrangement suggests that you can perform your tasks on an island or a cafe, there are also downsides to doing that. One of which is the lack of privacy.

This is important especially if you are dealing with sensitive information at work.

You would not want some stranger to peek at your laptop screen.

To prevent this, buy a privacy screen protector. It hinders anyone behind you from seeing what’s on your screen—perfect for when you are working outside your home.

Stay Comfortable With a Seat Cushion

Stay Comfortable With a Seat Cushion

You may be wondering, why would you need a seat cushion when you already have an ergonomic chair?

Sometimes, your chair’s cushion may not be soft enough or you simply need the extra support.

In that case, it’s best to buy an orthopedic seat cushion.

Try to look for a cushion that is made of memory foam. If you do, you might just have one of the best work-from-home setups because this material helps relieve back pain and stress. It also improves your posture.

Have Fun While Resting With a Foot Hammock

Have Fun While Resting With a Foot Hammock

Is a foot hammock essential? Not really.

But is it fun? Definitely, yes!

Having a foot hammock is one of the most creative work-from-home setup ideas to enable you to rest your feet while working. Buy one that can be adjusted to reach several heights for maximum benefits.

Keep Your Drinks Warm With a Mug Warmer

Keep Your Drinks Warm With a Mug Warmer

There is one truth when it comes to remote working, and that is, coffee is life.

Most remote workers love to drink coffee to boost their energy during their shifts. (Of course, others prefer the healthier alternative: tea.)

When you get too focused on work, you might sometimes forget to take a sip of your drink of choice.

Thus, keep it warm with a mug warmer. This item is, again, not really an essential, but it’s nice to have if you like your drinks warm.

Final Word

Remote working often requires a routine. But the same can be said for any kind of job.

As such, it may be worthwhile to find ways to keep things interesting – and comfortable. These gadgets may fall under “wants,” but they make your work-from-home office setup a little more comfortable.

And isn’t that what we all want?
