Promising review: "I was feeling pain and discomfort in both hands for the past few weeks, so I decided to look into purchasing some sort of compression gloves. I got these within two days and started to wear them immediately and found them to be very comfortable. Within two or three days my hands were feeling so much better. Since they were fingerless I started to use them during the day also while on my computer etc. After about a week my hands were back to normal...no more pain or discomfort, so thank you ComfyBrace Compression Gloves for making my old tired painful hands feel young again and pain free again. So anyone out there who is suffering from arthritis or carpal tunnel pain do yourself a favor and get those gloves. They are well worth the money and you too will be thanking them." —Juliette

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for 4+ hours with each full charge). The earbuds are also sweatproof and waterproof so you can use them during workouts or runs, and have a built-in mic so you can chat on the phone. Psst — these are also a great option for going outside in a mask, since they don't have wires that'll get tangled in the mask straps.
Promising review: "I never leave reviews but I've been on the hunt for a pair of wireless buds forever without having to pay the AirPod price and I finally found them! I saw these on a BuzzFeed article of 'things to buy for under $50, blah blah blah' something or other. I put left them in my cart for ages and finally bought them the other day. I wasn't hopeful and figured I could return them if I hated them but let me tell you. I work from home and I used them all day for work on Zoom calls yesterday, an hour long phone therapy session, and another few hours of work after that. Throughout the day there was no crackle or static, no dropped sound, everyone said they could hear me very clearly, and with a house full of people and a crying baby — I heard almost NOTHING. They easily connected to my phone and my computer. And at the end of the day I still had 40% battery left. The first day I used them I had static from my Zoom call but a quick Google search fixed that easily. Now it's smooth sailing. I adore these headphones — if you don't want to spring for AirPods, these are worth the money." —Ceton Tate

Promising review: "I was having terrible lower back pain and sciatica due to working from home seated all day at my computer. I found this cushion and thought I would try it. I'm thankful I did. I followed the enclosed use directions. The first day of sitting on this cushion I experienced some radiation going to the front of my leg but no back pain. The instructions say it takes up to three days for your body to adjust. I'm now fully adjusted to the cushion and no more pain!! Thank you so much for creating this wonderful cushion, well worth the money!" —Denise E.

This is compatible with Mac, PC, and Chrome laptops between 13 and 17 inches, and attaches with device-safe metal plates. The magnetic pull is strong enough for you to take your laptop from room to room without undoing your setup, but also easy enough to remove that you can tuck everything into a backpack quickly when you're on the move. You can even rotate the display to your preferences, if you want it at an angle!
Promising review: "This product is worth the money. Because I'm working from home now, one laptop screen just isn't cutting it. Sure, I can hook my laptop to my TV, but then I'm stuck working in a room that isn't necessarily conducive to being productive. The SideTrak is lightweight, easy to adhere to my MacBook Air (and I didn't have to remove the protective case), and easy to set up. This was a great early Christmas present!' —AJ Jones

Promising review: "I've bought three of these guys, two for my tech-loaded bedroom (PC, two monitors, Xbox, printer, CPAP machine, Switch, desk lamps, desk fan...) and one for my parents' electronics corner (printer, phone chargers...). We love them. The USB slots alone make these worth the price. Frees up a socket that would normally be a dedicated USB converter. The sockets are spaced out enough that chunky plugs don't block other plugs. The screw prevents the whole assembly from falling out or even wiggling much. Overall, absolutely delighted and glad I stumbled across these. The nightlight is a nice touch too. I wouldn't have missed it if it weren't there, but I love that it is." —Eh?Dub!

Promising review: "This is so amazing and cleans up any keyboard! This is a must-have if you use a mechanical keyboard, I've taken all the keys off my mechanical keyboard to clean it in the past, and nothing truly cleans it like that but I don't have the time to do this once a week! This product cleans way beyond my expectations! I've used it on multiple keyboards, car vents and small cracks/joints in my car interior. I was paranoid buying this container as I wasn't sure how log it would last but i'm still on my first container of this so it's WELL worth the money. I also purchased the smaller quantity pouches. Pick either one with confidence and clean your disgusting keyboard off!" —jgutz20

Promising review: "Worth the money to remove this headache from my life. Ahh yes — the age old problem of constantly having to search and untangle your various charging cords. It's a problem that just never gets solved until you introduce these little nubs. So I ordered these guys, just angry that I need this in my digital life. Do they work? Yes, yes they do. Quite well at holding an individual cord in place until you're ready to use it again. I have two on my dresser and one holds ye old iPhone charging cord and the other holds my laptop charger, ya dig? Go ahead and buy with confidence, but keep in mind they will only hold one cord at a time. Just surrender your six dollars and remove the pain from your life. You'll be glad you did." —Michael J. Hernandez

I set my phone in it and use speaker when taking calls at work. It’s also good for watching Netflix or YouTube! It the perfect angle, sturdy, and my face recognition works well. I will be ordering another to keep at home and keep this one at my office. Totally worth the money!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I fell in love with this set the moment it came out of the box. It is sturdy, well-made and definitely worth the price. My living room is all pink and I just inherited my grandmothers writing desk so this fit in beautifully. I am a writer and like to make my writing space as inviting and lovely as possible. This desk set helps me keep my papers, mail, note pad, writing journals, and pens beautifully organized. Worth every cent." —MRS

Get it from Amazon for $14.89 (available in two styles).
I (begrudgingly!!) got these recently for my Mac charger, because apparently the journey from my bedroom to the living room was just too much for my fragile cord's heart to bear, and it was starting to get worn at the charger end. This spiraled on in less than 10 seconds and has been great in terms of making sure the charger is still flexible and has some give, but isn't bending itself backward and daring me to let it break, either. Also loved how affordable it was compared to a $30 replacement charger.
Promising review: "Great cable saver. These have saved many lightning cable including one that was eaten by my robot vacuum. Well worth the money." —A. Collins

Promising review: "Worth every penny!! I was tired of looking down at my laptop and using my books to prop it up off my desk and found this stand. It is perfect. I have a 15.6" laptop fits perfectly. The aluminum is a nice, it's not cheaply made. It puts together in three pieces, you just slide the arms in place. Easy as 1-2-3. The rubber grips are nice on the bottom and on the top so your laptop doesn't move. It's 5 inches from my desk to the bottom of my laptop and the angle is great perfect. I love the space below its perfect for so I can slide my note pad and everything underneath it instead of on top of my laptop. So if you're looking for a stand, this is it." —LizC

Promising review: "Bought this for my father since he would always be working in his home office and let his coffee go cold, necessitating trips down to the microwave at least three times a day. Now, he leaves his mug on this and no matter how distracted with work he gets, he can always grab a nice warm cup of coffee. Super convenient and it doesn’t take up a lot of space at all. He uses it just about every day. Worth every penny." —njzeus

Promising review: "Checked all of the YouTube reviews-this is pretty much the defacto standard selfie light. Well worth the $$$. Works great. I use it with a handheld USB battery brick. Like the adjustability of the light intensity. Eight inches is perfect to aim your camera/camcorder thru the center of the light. Light comes with a nice cloth bag. Excellent product!" —M. Schnell

I used to go the the gym and join spinning classes 2-3 times a week and Zumba and walking one hour a day. This chair keeps me moving. Love it and recommended. It is very pricey but worth it. Very sturdy and good design. Look very classy in my office." —Julie Rust

Promising review: "Love my glasses! First reason is because I get migraines and can hardly stand looking at my computer screen while at work. These glasses significantly reduce the pain and make work bearable. The second reason is because they are super cute and stylish. Lastly, they came in a cool little box with a blue light testing kit (yes I did it and these are legit), also a tool for the screws, a cloth to clean them, and a bag for one of the pairs. Definitely worth the money! Would recommend." —Dakota C. Lusk

Promising review: "I love this mini fridge. It was well worth the money. I keep it in my room so I can just open it and have snacks and drinks. It keeps my beverages cold. It's not loud at all. I can only hear it when the room is completely quiet. It was delivered in two days, and it was easy to set up. What I also LOVE about this mini fridge is you can switch the setting to warm. It can heat up your food, too. If you're looking for a little something to add to your room, kitchen, office, or anywhere, this is what you should buy." —jace1313

Psst — come for the bajillion fun color options, but stay for the super handy flip top lid and silicone, leakproof spout that actually makes drinking water seem — dare I say — fun?
Promising review: "I have tried many water bottles to try and help me drink more water like I should. This bottle is by far my favorite! It breaks down how much you should be drinking by the hour and to break it down like it does, it really isn't much at all and is so easy to set goals and accomplish them! I love the rubber spout, as it is easy to drink out of and easy to keep clean! It is definitely leak proof, which is also a huge plus for me as I am always on the go and sometimes have to put it in my backpack. I highly recommend this bottle if you are looking for a good water bottle! Oh, and the color is spot on and even prettier than it looked in the photo. Definitely worth the price!!!!" —Lisa O.

Promising review: "I'm the type who buys an iced coffee every single day. I don't like how with other coffee makers that claim to make 'iced' coffee, you have to brew it hot first and then pour over ice, it just isn't the same. This product is PERFECT. It makes great cold brew coffee, wicked easy to clean, and it comes out fantastic. I was worried about getting bits of coffee grounds in my coffee, but the filter in this is awesome and this is perfect to help me make coffee at home and start saving some money! Definitely worth it and its a great price! Definitely would recommend this product." —Anthony

I just erase and start fresh the next month and if I need last month's notes I just look in my drives. It is awesome. The ink does smudge easily at first, just give it a sec or two to dry.

A popular way of doing this would be to set the time for 50 minutes, so then you work work work for that stretch and then take the 10 minutes at the top of the hour for other tasks like checking Instagram or answering texts. Then you can restart the timer and do it again. If anything, it's just sometimes a reminder of what you can get done in a certain amount of time if you block distractions out, which will motivate you to *keep* working that way.
