Here is the where your bucks are going towards. Things like adapters, monitors, monitor mounts, eveything that helps with the ergonomic setting of your setup

DONT SKIP ON LAPTOP STANDS!! 

This is part of ergonomics, you NEED this to not develop a hunch back. These laptop stands elevates your working surface so you arent staring DOWN you are looking straight.

Notice how I selected laptop stands WITH A 360 rotation? Yes, get those ones. You will thank me later.

Working on 2 monitors doubles your productivity. We are not going to be unproductive in 2026!!

Any montior works, I personally use this 140hz from ASUS because I also use it for gaming. 60hz is just fine for work purposes.

Make sure you check for either an HDMI port or Display port as that will affect what laptop adapter you purchase!

How do you expect to connect your laptop to your monitor? By using an adapter!

Get the right adapter based on what your monitor has (hdmi vs. display port). 

There are also other adapters that let you plug more USB slots into your latop!
Adapters: HDMI to VGA, HDMI to RCA & USB to HDMI

Getting a standing desk is part of getting to work from home! IF your budget fits, get a standing desk.

This is also part of ergonomics, it allows you to not sit all the time causing you to hyper extend your hip flexors. Additionally this helps your posture and back.

Also a great opportunity to put in a little walk/stretch to your routine.

DO NOT GET GAMING CHAIRS!

Get an office chair because they are 100% more comfortable and more supportive erogonomically. 

Look out for arm rests that are height adjustable, adjustable height, adjustable head rest, and adjustable back rest.

Peripherals, AKA accesories

Like the section title says, this is going to be the miscellaneous things that allow you to work on your setup comfortably. Think keyboards, mouse, cameras, etc.

What says productive than a creamy and cute keyboard?? 

Logitec is by far one of the most reliable brands for gaming or office use. You can purchase a wrist rest if you are worried about fatigue but use the adjustable height legs and you are good to go!

You defintely do not need something this fancy, but as I say “closed mouths don't get fed” so lets just invest in something GOOD so we can be heard in our meetings

Listen to me guys, YOUR MOUSE SHAPE MATTERS!

DO NOT purchase those FLAT logitec mice, get the ones with a decent arch so your wrists are being supported during your long working days.

Obviously get wireless, but wired is good too.

Noise cancelling headphones… duh!

I use these personally, they are my favourite. It has full noise cancellation, transparency mode, and a slide-to-change-music touch sensor on the side. 

These are super cute, you also just need headphones for work to block out distractions around the home

ESSENTIALS DUPE!! 

One of the best things about working from home is you CAN work in sweaters and no one will judge! 

I personally love this hoodie from abercrombie because it literally fits like the real Essentials Hoodie. SO cute and comfortable.
