Since the pandemic, I’ve been refining my work from home space with products that truly make a difference. This list includes tried-and-true items like my standing desk, plus new remote work essentials that help me stay productive, healthy, and balan...
I bought this desk in 2020 after being told we would be working from home indefinitely. Since, I've recommended this to four friends and they all bought and love it. Mine is still working like it is brand new 5 years in.
FLEXISPOT EN1 48x30 Electric Standing Desk
I find sometime I need more motivation to stand up and work. So, with this stool, I will leave my desk in the standing position and rest on it. I'm more likely to stand up and move around from time to time when I use this.

Two things I can't stand: 1. A monitor that is not at a comfortable height 2. not being able to find a pen when I need one.
This stand with an organizational space solved both of these problems for me!

My go-to pens. When I was in the office, I had a purple G-2 pen from a vendor that lasted me for over a year. I was hooked. They write smoothly and don't dry out. Just a good, reliable pen.
Having them in multiple colors makes notes fun and if you're more organized than me, you could color code them! :-)
