In the last 5 years, we all learned a thing or two about working from home, and you either love it or hate it. I enjoy it, but I know that others may not, and the best way to get comfortable with working from home is to create a space that you LOVE. If you're looking to make your WFH setup more comfortable and productive, here are a few essentials from Amazon that I highly recommend:
1. A comfortable chair
You're going to be spending a lot of time sitting in your chair, so it's important to find one that's comfortable and supportive. As a person who suffers from spinal issues, it’s important that I have a firm yet flexible chair. I recommend the SIHOO M18 Ergonomic Office Chair, but there are plenty of other great options available, such as the Sweetcrispy Office Computer Desk Chair and Dripex Ergonomic Office Chair, High Back Desk Chair.
2. A good desk
Your desk is another important piece of furniture for your work from home setup. It should be the right height and size for you, and it should have plenty of space for your computer, monitor, and other essentials. The Flexispot desk comes highly recommended; it’s a standing desk with customizable options., but there are plenty of other great options available.
Some prefer a standing desk compared to a traditional one, while others aren’t ready to commit and want a converter option. I use both and enjoy my converter option when working from the office. I have the VERSADESK® PowerRiser 40 Inch Electric Standing Desk Converter for Dual Monitor, Ameriwood Home Owen Retro Computer Desk for a simple setup with the computer only, and my current home setup uses a Marble L-shape desk.
3. A noise-canceling headset
If you live in a noisy environment, a noise-canceling headset is a must-have. It will help you block out distractions and focus on your work. I recommend the Bose QuietComfort Headphones or the Microsoft LifeChat 3000 for occasional use and meetings.
4. A webcam
If you video conference with colleagues or clients, a webcam is essential. I recommend the Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam. It’s plug and play with options to customize.
5. A good lighting setup
Good lighting is important for both your productivity and your eye health. I recommend the Elgato Key Light Air, Logitech Litra Beam Premium LED Streaming Key Light or Quntis Computer Lamp but there are plenty of other great options available to fit your needs.
7. A cable management system
A cable management system will help you keep your cables organized and out of the way. I recommend this under the desk box system, that doesn’t require drilling and fits to your desk; it’s simple and effective. However, if you need something more advanced, you should consider the N NOROCME Cord Management Organizer Kit in addition to the box system.
8. A surge protector
A surge protector will help protect your expensive electronics from damage caused by power surges. I recommend the Belkin SurgeCube Surge Protector It has a compact design that will allow several connection types. There are also many more that can fit your specific needs and design choices on Amazon.
Nice to have:
Printer - I have the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e All-in-One Printer, and it works great; I can print, scan, and fax.
Echo Show 5 - I use it for weather, alarms, and note-taking.
