    28 Things You Need If You Stare At A Computer Screen All Day

    Pretty much what you're doing right now.

    1. A glass dry-erase whiteboard so you can jot down notes and key reminders throughout the day. You're not the only one who forgets what they're supposed to be doing throughout the day 😓.

    2. A standing desk that may provide a host of benefits including reducing back pain, improving mental health, lowering blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, and more. If you're missing gym time, standing helps to burn calories, too.

    3. An office chair complete with an ergonomic design to give you added comfort while sitting at your desk. A happy back makes for a happier workday.

    4. A set of armrest pads your elbows will thank you for as they rest in cozy office luxury atop these cushions. You might actually start to enjoy sitting at your desk again.

    5. An assortment of people decor to add a little humor to an otherwise mundane work day. How can you not look at the little peeps trying to escape your team meeting and not smile 😊?

    6. An electronics cleaning brush in case you're wondering why you can't seem to press the "L" key. Try running this brush around your keyboard to see if there's any loose crumbs trapped underneath.

    7. A monitor memo board for holding sticky notes, a photo of your bestie (aka your dog), and your phone. Plus, there's a hole at the bottom so you can charge your phone.

    8. An under-the-desk hammock you can rest your feet on and imagine you're swinging between two palm trees on a tropical island far, far away from work. It comes with a hook to hang your headphones, too.

    9. A portable monitor so you can free yourself from the shackles of your desk, and can still have dual monitors for maximum productivity. It's thin like a tablet so it won't take up much room in your carrying case if you want to take it on the go.

    10. A keyboard cover that'll not only add a little personality to your company laptop, but will also help to protect the keyboard from dust, spills, and key wear.

    11. A set of easy-to-attach, reusable blackout monitor screens to keep those nosy neighbors off your screen while you're working.

    12. Or a smaller privacy screen for your laptop so you can cruise the latest BuzzFeed Shopping list in peace without anyone noticing.

    13. A Dalmatian-print desk mat if you're looking for something that'll make sitting at your desk more enjoyable. Adding a little print will liven up that workspace in no time.

    14. A sliding magnetic webcam cover so you don't have to worry about logging onto your video meeting and forgetting to turn off your video. While your Golden Girls pajamas are lovely, they aren't exactly work attire.

    15. A migraine stick in case you come down with a bad case of the headaches, this migraine stick may provide you with some quick relief.

    16. An extension cord with a wheel because it's an easy solution on the days you're working away from your normal work setup and need to charge your devices but the outlet is a little too far away.

    17. A hand warmer mouse pad perfect for people who are always cold, especially when they have to leave the warmth of their bed to mosey over to their desk. When that brisk cool air slips under the door in the morning, your click finger will be nice and toasty.

    18. An adjustable cellphone stand to keep your phone upright so you can glance at alerts as they roll in, or so you can effortlessly multitask, updating your computer spreadsheet and watching the TikTok videos your friends keep sending you at the same time.

    19. An anti-fatigue mat that does just what it says, reduces fatigue that could be caused by standing for long periods of time. Whether you have a standing desk at home or stand at your in-office job, this mat will help take some of the edge off of your tiny dancers.

    20. A comfort seat cushion that'll be the best thing your butt experiences all year. Sitting in one spot all day can be hard on the body, and this cushion will make it that much easier for you to finally clear out that inbox.

    21. A retro desk humidifier perfect for incorporating a little zen into your day — instant spa-like ambiance. You'll sail right through those last few emails.

    22. An under-the-desk footrest to keep from feeling numb after sitting at your desk for long periods of time. It's made to contour to your foot's natural arch and promote circulation.

    23. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses that'll provide some much-needed comfort for your eyes by reducing eye strain so you can continue to scroll through emails, Kindle books, and video games headache free.

    24. A Zoom mug ideal if you spend most of your days in virtual meetings. It's also super helpful to make sure your team can see your screen or to signal to the presenter that they're on mute.

    25. A lap desk you can use as a portable desk to use around the house or take with you for an out-of-office workday. It works for your laptop, tablet, or cellphone.

    26. An upper back brace posture corrector to keep you from slouching over your computer every day. Better posture means less strain on your neck, back, and shoulders, which also means you'll hopefully have an easier and more productive day.

    27. A vertical laptop stand in case your desk is already filled to the brim with an assortment of office supplies and other knickknacks. This will make it easy to have your laptop on your desk in a space-saving, efficient way, especially for those who use their laptop docked.

    28. A laptop stand so you can elevate your laptop to eye level and reduce neck strain. I use one of these for work, and it's super helpful if you use a dual monitor, too.
