    34 Useful And Inexpensive Things To Make Working From Home Better

    If you don't have an assistant, these items are here to help — and they're all under $50.

    1. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses to help you reduce eye strain from spending hour after hours staring at not only your computer while you work, but also your phone and even TV screen after you clock out.

    2. A wall charger with six outlets *and* two USB fast-charging ports to keep all your devices and accessories at 100% and so they won't die in the middle of that team meeting.

    3. An "After Coffee" notepad with three separate sections to help you take a second in the morning (maybe while you're enjoying your first cup) to split up your to-do list into your top priorities, what can be done later, and what can be done tomorrow. This will help you focus on what needs to get done without getting overwhelmed.

    4. A printer stand you can put under your desk and have more room on your desk for activities (i.e. your work).

    5. A Rocketbook smart reusable notebook that takes your hand-written notes and makes them digital so when your boss asks for a recap of that meeting in your one-on-one, you can send it as an attachment and look super on top of everything.

    6. A wall-mounted drop-leaf table you can ~pop~ open when you're ready to hit the ground running and get all your work done, and then simply fold it away at the end of the day.

    7. A glass dry-erase desktop whiteboard you can write your important reminders and "I CAN'T FORGET" notes on instead of using scraps of paper.

    The dry erase board with the words "Isn't this fabulous?!!!" written out on it

    8. A Wi-Fi extender capable of strengthening your Wi-Fi in all areas of your home so you'll stop cutting out during your video meetings.

    9. A reversible waterproof desk mat you can put on your table if you really have no place at all for a desk so you can at least make it feel like you're working from one.

    10. A wireless charger stand to keep your phone at 100% without even having to remember to plug it in. Plus, you won't miss any notifications when it's right in front of you.

    11. Or just a simple cellphone stand to help keep your device at the ready for that very important call you're expecting.

    12. An ergonomic mesh office chair designed with a curved backrest to support the natural curve of your spine, keeping you aligned and comfortable for the eight hours you sit in it during the day.

    13. A monitor memo board with a spot to hold your phone so you never miss another important text or call.

    14. A time marker water bottle here to remind you to stay hydrated during the workday. There are markers on the side with times so you can keep track of how much water you should be drinking to (hopefully) avoid any dehydration headaches or anything else that comes with not drinking enough water.

    15. A foldable laptop stand so you can turn *any* desk (or kitchen table, vanity, etc.) into a *standing* desk.

    16. Some cable clips so you can organize all the cords you have and not spend 10 minutes fishing out your computer charging cord that fell behind your desk...again.

    Small black circles with a slit down the center that stick to a surface to keep cords in place on a desk

    17. A privacy sign great for anyone working from a full house where people like to barge in even when the door is closed.

    18. A memory foam chair cushion with a nonslip rubber bottom to ensure you'll be comfortable all day long — it won't move around when you get up every once and a while to stretch your legs (and maybe pet your dog).

    19. And memory foam armrest pads because your elbows deserve just as much love as your butt does! They're sitting in their chair for the same amount of time!!!

    20. A rainbow pen pot you have ~a-round~ for a long time because it will add a bright spot to your desk and make it super easy to grab your favorite pen (you know the exact pen I'm talking about).

    21. A selfie ring light for anyone who has found themselves working in less-than-ideal lighting during a marathon of Zoom calls. This small device will make a big difference so everyone can see your beautiful face.

    22. A bendy desk lamp to ~brighten~ up your workspace and make it more inviting to actually work from during the day. Plus, it has a USB port, so it will keep your phone charged and at the ready.

    23. A weekly planner pad great for anyone who remembers things better when they write them down (rather than type). You can keep track of everything you need to get done, plus added a little note about what you're grateful for each week.

    The rectangle notepad with a spot for each day of the week

    24. A laptop stand to take your productivity to ~new heights~. JK, we can't guarantee it will do that, but improving your posture and not straining your eyes as much will help you feel better at the end of the day.

    25. Some Monkey Noodles, which may sound and look like a toy, well, because they are. You can stretch, pull, twirl, wrap, and squeeze this sensory toy to help you stay calm and focused in long team meetings you just knowwww should have been an email.

    26. A velvet memory foam foot rest so you feel ~supported~ throughout your long day.

    27. An adjustable rolling desk for anyone who doesn't have room for an actual one. This one has wheels *and* adjusts up and down, making it super easy to move it from the couch to a chair, or even your bed. Plus, you can use it as a side table when you're not working.

    28. A Takeya cold brew maker so you can easily pour yourself a glass at 3 p.m. when you normally might have taken a trip to the nearest coffee shop.

    29. An adjustable wood shelf to put next to your computer and keep any books or materials you need close by and at the ready.

    31. A soundproofing strip to help block out all the surrounding noise so your coworkers can actually hear you speak instead of just the neighbor's dog barking.

    32. Or a white noise machine that'll drown out any unnecessary background noise with a constant pfshhhhhh or nature sound.

    33. A mesh desk organizer with a three-compartment sliding drawer, tray, and five upright sections designed to fit SO much more than you think it can and make your desk feel clean and organized.
