4 Must Have Tools for a Productive Work from Home Set-up

by Denny F. My Opinion


Working from home has been slowly gaining popularity in the business world. But it wasn’t until last year when the trend increased exponentially. Many employees had to adjust to the norm of remote work. And one of the biggest challenges to productivity is making sure you have the right tools in your home office. Even with limited space, you can still work comfortably if you invest in technology that suits your needs.

 

The basic things you need to start working from home are an internet connection and a computer. But why settle with the basics when you can have a better set-up? Here are our recommendations on must-have tools for better productivity and comfort.

 

1. An ergonomic wireless mouse

 

If you’ve been using a wired mouse for the longest time, you should consider switching to a wireless model. An ergonomic design, such as Logitech MX vertical is the perfect choice for those who spend hours in front of a computer. An ergonomic computer mouse may look a bit weird, but you’ll soon realize that it’s better. Not only will it reduce hand fatigue, but it also lessens wrist strain. And, since it’s wireless, it’s easier to use and fits perfectly in a home office with limited space.

 

2. Consider getting a computer monitor

 

Working in front of a laptop is already second nature to some people. But, if you’ll be working from home for an extended period, you may need to use a monitor. Although a laptop works just fine, having a bigger screen is at times more convenient. It’s also going to improve your productivity when you feel more at ease with the gadget you’re using.

 

To complete the set-up, you may want to use a desk pad for your office essentials. This will protect your table from scratches and help keep your tools organized in one place. The desk pad can also double as a mouse pad, which is a great way to reduce clutter.

 

3. A Bluetooth keyboard

 

Along with a computer monitor, you’ll also need to invest in a new keyboard. Wireless models are quite popular these days. There are also various styles to choose from, and choosing one is a matter of preference. For example, some prefer the old-fashioned mechanical type keyboard. But if you want a swankier option, get an ergonomic model. It will ensure that you’re hands are in the best position for hours of typing, while at the same time reducing stress.

 

4. A laptop stand and other accessories

 

If you prefer to work using a laptop, you’ll need to get a stand for your device. It facilitates ventilation and prevents overheating. A stand is also handy when you need the laptop to be at the right height for video conferencing.

Apart from a laptop stand, you can also get additional accessories that will improve your work productivity. A sturdy desk lamp, a Bluetooth headset, and a smart speaker are some examples. A desk organizer is also another must-have to ensure that your paper, pens, and other office needs are in the right place and are always within reach.
