My Top 13 Work From Home Essentials During Quarantine⠀

 
 

1. Better Back:

If you want to elicit stares and conversations from strangers in cafes (once cafes are a thing again) but also reduce your back pain and improve your posture, this is what you’ve been looking for.

2. Ethernet Cord:

Without doing anything else, plugging in directly to my router gave me 20 extra mbps. + (Adapter for Mac) ⠀

3. Blue Snowball USB Mic:

@zoom meetings with a microphone that hits different.

4. Productivity Planner:

Because if I tried to keep everything in my head it would explode.

5. Five Minute Journal:

Six minutes would have taken too long.

6. Lap Desk:

For that journey all the way from the desk to the couch.⠀

7. Kindle Paperwhite:

If you email yourself and replace “gmail” with “kindle” in your email address and put “Convert” in the subject line you can send PDFs and eBooks straight to your Kindle.⠀

8. White Board:

Because everything in life is temporary.⠀

9. BIG Post Its:

Except for what you write in permanent marker on wall size Post Its.⠀

10. Logitech Webcam:

Because if you’re going to see my unkempt beard, it’s at least going to be in 1080.⠀

11. Blue Light Glasses:

Giving hipsters with good sight everywhere an excuse to finally wear glasses.⠀

12. Next Stand:

Elevating your computer so if you had to type on it you’d look like a dog.⠀

13. Keyboard and Mouse:

So you don’t attempt to type like a dog (although that might be cool).

BONUS: AIRPODS!
