Tech + Gear
The go-to gear and technology that you need to be using to boost productivity when working from home.
Obsessed with this monitor - I used to get crazy bad headaches from working on my laptop and straining my neck by looking down. Once I started using this monitor, I noticed a huuuge difference and I very rarely get headaches anymore when working! Hig...
Dell 34 Inch Ultrawide WQHD Curved Computer Monitor - S3422DW
I've recently upgraded to the Surface 11 from my Surface Laptop Studio and can say it was totally worth it!
Don't get me wrong, the Studio was still great, but I was looking for something a bit lighter and more portable. And the Surface 11 definitely delivered - in more ways than one.

Microsoft Surface Pro 11 w/ Copilot
For sure you can't be without some kind of Apple device for work, and I am super happy with my iPad Pro. I went with the larger screen size because then it can easily double as a laptop when you're on the go.
iPad Pro 12.9"
Great buy if you are using the iPad Pro. This keyboard literally makes it feel like you are working from your Macbook.
iPad Pro Magic Keyboard
Must-have if you are doing podcasts or are a creator of any kind.

The webcam upgrade you didn't know you needed. 4K and 60 FPS. What else could you ask for!
Razer Kiyo Pro
An ergonomic chair is a necessity when WFH. This one is my favorite because I am so petite and this chair actually goes low enough to the ground that my feet can be flat on the floor! And of course its just super comfy to sit in, even for hours at a ...
Steelcase Leap v2
A good notebook is always needed. I've relied on Moleskine's for as long as I can remember - I think I've filled 20+ of them over the years!

This ring light will make you look flawless AF on your Zoom calls with your boss, even though you just woke up 3 minutes ago… (Plz tell me I am not the only one who does this!)

If you are on a tight budget and want to take notes with your iPad when working from home, try out this Apple Pencil 2 dupe. I actually had purchased this to bring with me when travelling because I was always worried about losing my actual Apple Penc...
Apple Pencil Gen 2 Dupe
If you are going to be staring at a screen for 8 hours a day (okay, let's be real, more like 6), then you should definitely get some blue light glasses. The ones from Eyebuydirect are relatively inexpensive, so you can grab a couple of pairs to switc...

These are the perfect crew sock that are not too short, not too high, and they just sit right above the ankle. Obsessed.

Apps
My go-to apps for keeping track of all the things.
Seriously wouldn't get through my days without using Canva. Great for creating quick graphics for social media, but is amazing for tons of other stuff, like making slide decks, carousels, videos, flyers, business cards, landing pages - pretty much an...
Canva Pro
Use this app for managing all of the things in my life, not just work stuff.
I keep track of freelancing work, my 9-5 work, my side hustles, other random DIY projects around the house. Like legit everything. It is so flexible and you can really use it to replace like 98% of your other notes/tasks/productivity apps.

Don't forget to eat and drink water. Because that shits important.
How I get through the work days when I am really not feeling it that day.
Keurig Coffee Maker
Of course you will need some coffee pods to use in your Keurig, and my go-to is the Starbucks Iced Coffee Vanilla K-Cups. Tastes just like you got it at Starbucks and they are a lot easier on my wallet too!
Starbucks® Iced Coffee Blend Naturally Flavored Vanilla
I've always been a huge fan of Yeti products, and their latest mugs do not disappoint. Keeps your cold drinks cold, and your hot drinks hot. ALL DAMN DAY. Plus it looks super classy and will still fit in your cupholders if you bring it with you in th...
Yeti Rambler® 1.2 L Straw Mug
This mug is a serious game-changer for my ADHD people, because if you are like me, you probably forget your coffee even exists when you're working, and then you remember two hours later and its ice cold. Well not anymore! Because this mug by Ember wi...
