Top Ten List Logo

When the world took a hard shift to working from home a year ago, some were more prepared than others. I would love to tell you that I was one of the lucky ones who was ready with a full home office setup and worked more effectively at home. I would love to tell you how liberating it was to be able to work where you want how you want. But reality is harsh and I was none of those things. Fortunately, it’s been a year, and I have slowly been able to fine-tune my home office to the frequency of my regular office and start to get some work done. Here’s some tech that will help you fine-tune your home office to the frequency of your regular office.

As a Mac user, when I need two monitors working from home, I use the sidecar feature with my iPad. The Lamicall tablet stand allows me to set my iPad at the perfect angle on the table next to my laptop and use dual monitors with my Mac from anywhere.

If there’s one thing I have learned over the last year it’s that it’s important to try to find happiness wherever you can. I had no idea my ions were out of balance until I picked up a Himalayan salt lamp. Now my ions are totally balanced and let me tell you, it’s exactly what you would expect.

Fortunately, most laptops now come with webcams, microphones, and built-in speakers, making them perfect tools for video calls. Until you go to use it with a docking station or external monitor with the lid shut. Thankfully, manufacturers like HP have started selling monitors with all the necessary features for video calls built right in. This is also the easiest way for home desktop users to join in on the party!

Desk lamps can hog a big chunk of room in your workspace, so why not upgrade to one that can do more for you than just light up your desk? The LED Desk Lamp With Wireless Charger comes with USB charging ports and a wireless charger so you can always keep the juices flowing to your devices while consolidating messy cables on your desk.

Having trouble seeing your old CRT computer monitor? Perhaps it’s time to upgrade, and there’s no better place to start than the Samsung Odyssey G9 Gaming monitor. With a 240hz refresh rate, a 5120 x 1440p Ultra-wide QLED display that is NVIDIA G-Sync & Free-Sync enabled, and a 1000R Curve (matching the curvature of your eyes), blurry text will be thing of the past!

The Logitech MX Keys keyboard is hands down the best keyboard I have ever used in my entire life. The high build quality is evident as soon as you start typing and the circular indentations on the keys are just a treat. It has both Mac and Windows layouts printed on the keys so you never get lost switching between the two. It can be paired with 3 devices via Bluetooth or a Logitech Unifying receiver that you can quickly switch between with 3 buttons at the end of the function row.

When it comes to office chairs everyone has different preferences but I think everyone would agree it’s important to find one you like. Personally, I enjoy the Amazon Basics High-Back Executive Swivel Chair because it comes in at the right price and is incredibly comfortable. But, it’s not too comfortable where I might doze off in a meeting that could’ve been an email.

Standing desks are all the rage at the moment. If you are too comfortable sitting down at your desk all day why not spice it up and stand for a while? The SHW Standing Desk will help elevate your workload to get it on your level.

Do you leave your phone on your desk while you’re working? Why not give some extra juice while it’s just sitting there. As long as you hit the magic spot, this mousepad will charge your phone while you work.

No work from home setup is complete without some official business slippers. I felt a bit ridiculous wearing my nice work shoes around the house, so finally, I caved and got a pair of business slippers. Since then, my productivity has skyrocketed.
