<\/figure>\nI always thought I wouldn\u2019t like working from home. Then COVID came and I have been working exclusively from home since March. Now I LOVE it. I am so much more efficient because I can get things done quickly without outside distractions. I never feel behind anymore, in fact, I am usually ahead of the game which allows me to better serve my clients, a win-win for everyone!<\/p>\n
Here are my WFH Must-Haves <\/span> <\/h2>\nStand Up Desk-<\/a> I was sent this VeriDesk by the company years ago to review<\/a> and it is still one of my most favorite work-related items. I used this desk when I worked in news and brought with me when I left to go into PR. About halfway through quarantine, I went to my office one weekend and took the desk to have at home since I missed it so much! <\/p>\nNot only does this prevent you from sitting ALL. DAY. LONG. it also gives you a nice boost when you need it. If I am having trouble concentrating or feel a block, I simply stand-up for an immediate productivity boost. <\/p>\n
Blue Light Glasses<\/a>\u2013 I know there is some debate on how well these work, but I can definitely tell a difference when I am wearing them as opposed to when I am not. I also have contacts, so maybe that has something to do with it? <\/p>\nI got mine for a great deal at Diff, but they have a ton of options on Amazon. Just read the reviews. If you want to make sure you are getting the best quality, you can also get them at your eye doctor. That is where we got them for our kids since they are on the computer all day now with virtual learning. <\/p>\n
Giant Water Bottle<\/a>\u2013 This might seem a bit random, but for some reason my water consumption went way down when I started working from home. I noticed I was rarely drinking anything and I would be too lazy to get up an refill my cup if I was in the middle of something. Then I realized, I always had a water bottle with me at work. <\/p>\nAfter a few weeks, I ordered an even larger bottle since I was sick of getting up to refill it and because I didn\u2019t have to carry it with me anywhere. (I would bring my other water bottle with me in my purse and to meetings so I didn\u2019t want anything too big or heavy) <\/p>\n
Ring Light Kit<\/a>\u2013 Zoom is my life these days so I figured a ring light was a good investment. I\u2019d always wanted one for social media\/blog stuff anyway. One day Alyson over at the Modern Savvy<\/a> shared this light on her IG and it was the perfect smaller size and affordable price point. I wasn\u2019t sure how well it would work, but it is amazing! It has a number of adjustments you can make to the light and comes with everything you need to immediately up your zoom game. <\/p>\n
