It’s the start of a new year and many of us are still working from home. If you don’t have your home office space set up by now, then what are you waiting for? This is the year to jazz up your home working space, whether you’re working from the corner of your lounge or have a dedicated room to call your home office.
Fortunately, you don’t need much equipment when you work from home. However, there are a few home office gadgets that can make your life easier and ensure working from home is much more fun. Take a look at the following work-from-home equipment to improve your remote work routine and enhance productivity.
A good office chair
If there’s one thing you absolutely must have for your home office it’s a decent office chair. An ergonomic office chair will go a long way to improving your productivity and will make working long hours suck a whole lot less. Look for something with an adjustable headrest that is made with a breathable mesh material for optimal airflow.
We get it, office chairs can be quite pricey. So, if you’re unable to spring for a new chair, then consider investing in the next best thing; an orthopedic seat cushion. If you are looking for extra comfort, then an orthopedic seat cushion will greatly enhance the comfort of the chair you’re currently working on from home. It also helps prevent back pain, improves your posture, and reliefs stress. Look for something made with high-density memory foam and cooling gel for more comfort.
Laptop stand
Staring down at your laptop screen all day will soon hurt your neck. The solution? A laptop stand. This is a lightweight and often foldable stand that will bring your laptop to eye level and thus help prevent neck pain.
A good keyboard
If you are using a laptop stand while working then, you will also need an additional keyboard because you won’t be able to work comfortably from your laptop keyboard anymore. Investing in a good keyboard is essential to enhance your workflow. You could go for a foldable keyboard, an ultra-thin, light, and a small keyboard, or even a roll-up silicone keyboard for easy working on the go.
