10 Best workspace gadgets to totally upgrade your desk

Looking to become more productive at work? It’s all about your environment. Because you spend nearly a quarter of the week at your desk, you deserve to make it the most inspiring place. Here are the best workspace gadgets for optimal productivity and efficiency.

• How many hours a week do most Americans work? While full-time is considered anything above 30 hours, most Americans actually average 44 hours a week.
• What are some ways to improve the work day? Make sure you take scheduled and productive breaks (as in, truly give your mind a rest). You might find a standing desk to be useful, too.
• Where can I find more workspace gadgets? Head over to our dedicated category for even more.

Being productive at work is all about balancing efficiency and quality. You’ve heard it before and we’ll say it again: to be productive, you need a workspace that caters to you.

You spend a lot of hours at your desk. And often times, your 40-hours-a-week role can easily turn into early mornings and late nights just to finish projects. Add in your commute time and it becomes no wonder you’re exhausted come Friday.

You could go for a remote working position (we highly recommend it!), or you could fill your desk with the best workspace gadgets money can buy.
