DESK SETUP
A good mouse makes a bigger difference than I expected when I’m working all day. I like the comfortable shape and smooth scrolling for everyday work.

I use a laptop stand to get my screen closer to eye level and make my desk feel more comfortable. It also gives me a little extra space underneath for keeping things organized.

A large desk mat makes the whole setup feel more put together while giving me plenty of room for my keyboard and mouse. It’s one of those small upgrades that makes the desk nicer to use.

TECH I ACTUALLY USE
A USB-C hub is one of those things I didn’t think I needed until I had one. It makes connecting a mouse, keyboard, external drive, or other accessories much easier.

I like having a dedicated webcam for video calls instead of relying entirely on my laptop camera. It’s especially useful for meetings when I want the setup to look a little more polished.

A comfortable chair is probably one of the most important WFH upgrades if you spend hours at your desk. I’d rather invest in something supportive than deal with an uncomfortable chair all day.

I keep these around for days when I’m staring at my screen for way too long. They’re an easy addition to my desk setup and also make me feel a little more put together on video calls.

My desk can get surprisingly warm, especially during long work sessions. A small rechargeable fan is easy to move around and doesn’t take up much desk space.

LITTLE UPGRADES
These are my go-to when I need to focus or when there’s too much background noise around me. They’re also useful for meetings when I want better audio without using speakers.
Noise Cancelling | Headphones
Good lighting makes working at a desk much more comfortable, especially when I’m working early in the morning or late at night. I prefer one with adjustable brightness so I can change it depending on the time of day.

WORKDAY ESSENTIALS
I like keeping important work files backed up separately from my laptop. A portable SSD is also handy when I need to move larger files without relying on cloud storage.
Shop External & Portable Solid State Drives: External SSDs
I like having a physical place to write down what I need to get done instead of keeping everything in my head. It’s especially helpful when my workday starts getting busy.

I use a timer when I’m struggling to focus or when a task feels bigger than it actually is. Breaking work into smaller sessions makes it easier to just start.
