37 Things You'll Probably Want If You Work From Home

Just a little something to upgrade an average workday.

1. A rotating timer ideal for people who get overwhelmed by long lists and deadlines. This timer will help you focus on one project at a time, and ensure you get a break time, too. It could even be fun to reward yourself after every hour of work with an activity to give your brain a rest.

2. A magnetic pen that doubles as a fidget toy and is able to transform into different shapes to make mini people, animals, and other objects.

3. Reusable dry-erase sticky notes you can place all over the house because they're great for leaving notes, reminders, or labeling. Stick them on stainless steel, cabinets, glass, or plastic, and simply rinse the back to make them sticky all over again.

4. A decision maker paperweight for when you just don't feel like making anymore decisions. Throw caution to the wind and let this paperweight decide the day's fate.
