Be more productive with these home office gadgets
HP S430C Curved Ultrawide Monitor 43.4″ Display in a Home Office Setup

Hopefully, you’re getting into a groove by now. You’ve figured out just when you need to get up so you can sleep in as late as possible before you have to log on. You’ve got the coffee-making and breakfast tasks timed down to the millisecond. And, luckily, you don’t have to worry about showering and getting out of your pajamas. Unless you’re on a million Zoom calls. We can’t help you with that though. Might we suggest a fun background to distract people from the fact that you look like a hot mess? What we can help with, though, is your home office setup.

You’re figuring out what works and what you still need. It’s a learning process. It is for everyone newly working from home. It’s gonna take you a bit of time to really get everything where you need it to be, and that’s okay. But we’re trying to help get you there a little bit faster, based on our years of living that WFH lifestyle.

So here are some of the things we find make our work lives better and more productive. Stop fussing around with your web camera, transferring your highlighted notes, and trying to find multiple charging blocks. Because when you’re more productive, you can get to the important stuff—like Animal Crossing—more quickly.
