Comfort
These are recommendations for overall comfort!
A good chair is crucial for comfort during long hours of sitting. I find that gaming chairs offer the same amount of comfort as typical office chairs, if not more!
Gaming Chair
If a gaming chair is not what you are looking for, I suggest a nice office chair with lumbar support. This can help minimize back pain.
Lumbar Support Office Chair
These help to keep the blood flowing and keep the legs comfy/free from swelling when you have to sit for longer periods of time, I highly recommend one!
Massagers For Legs
Blanket poncho… need I say more?
Poncho blanket
I wear fluffy socks a lot because my feet get cold easily, which is certainly the case when I'm working at the desk which happens to have a big vent behind it.
Aloe Infused Fuzzy Socks
Environment
These are things that I think would brighten the area around you and help you to relax!
I'm a sucker for fall scents, and having them nearby helps me to stay relaxed! Of course you could find your own scents but I particularly love the fall ones. You don't even have to light them, you can just smell them :)
Fall candles
I wholly recommend adding some plants to your workspace! You don't have to clutter the desk, but it's always nice and refreshing to have clean decor :)
Succulent decor
If you're like me, you like to keep the lights dimmer during off-times to keep the cortisol levels low! I also just really like the look of these lights!
Fairy Lights - Target
I have ADHD and so obviously I have a hard time sitting still! Either I'm sitting still or I'm focused - can't have both. I find that fidget toys help me to stay focused and lead to increased productivity with less frustration.

Workspace essentials
These are things that help the efficiency of your work!
Desk organization is a must when keeping your workspace tidy, especially if you handle paper and write with a pen/pencil.
Desk Organization
Standing desks are great to keep the blood flowing or using different height chairs - many are adjustable which is great especially if you're tall or short (like me).
Standing Desks
Sharpie gel pens are hands-down my favorite pens! They write so smoothly and hold up for so long.

Clip boards with storage compartments are infinitely better than plain old clipboards.

I prefer highlighters that have clear tips so I can actually see what I'm highlighting BEFORE I do it. This helps to avoid messy mistakes especially when using colors!
Highlighters with clear tips
Having a nice printer that also doubles as a scanner is crucial when you have to handle physical paperwork often.
Small Printer Scanner
I love to have a miniature desk on the side especially if I have more than one main “working component”, like an additional laptop or space to write. It's also nice to have my coffee on a separate desk just in case it gets spilled.
Rolling Desk
Keep it clean
These are recommendations for keeping the area clean
I like to wipe down my work area often to avoid dirt or germs! I prefer clorox wipes based on my desk, make sure you pick a product that won't harm the material of your workspace.
Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
Having a duster on hand is fantastic for keeping dust form building up - and thus less sneezing!
Swiffer Dusters
I like to use hand sanitizer often to keep germs from building up on my equipment (basically my keyboard haha)
Hand Sanitizer
It is essential to have the right tools when cleaning your keyboard so you are 1. effective and 2. not damaging anything. I recommend a basic one from amazon! A clean keyboard helps me feel better and increases the longevity of my keys.
Keyboard Cleaning Kit
Misc.
These are things I really couldn't put into a category haha
It's always a good idea to stay active even when sitting! Keep the blood pumping and don't sacrifice physical activity just because you're working.
Exercise Desk Bike
I absolutely love walking pads!! This is another option to keep moving while you work! Some of them come with a little desk attachment, so be careful to read the description before purchasing! I also like that I can store them under the couch and pul...
Under Desk Treadmill
Compression socks can help to keep swelling down and help you maintain comfort while sitting for longer periods.

I love over-ear headphones especially when I'm overstimulated or trying to just focus. In-ear earbuds are fine too but they are not preferred when I am already aggravated!
Apple AirPods Max
I like these for when I'm working on slow days and am not struggling with stimulation! Sometimes it's nice to have a variety of options depending on how you're feeling - and my airpods have held up for years with no issues.

A handy little assistant can be very convenient for so many different aspects of WFH life!!
