1. An adjustable standing desk, because this'll get you on your feet and clear your head after sitting for way too long. It's easy to zone out when on your bum all day ā this'll shake things up (and maybe even motivate some *creativity*). Emails...here I come.
2. A pack of mushroom coffee mix that reviewers say give them the same amount of energy as regular cups of joe, but without any jitters or caffeine headaches. If you usually put off work because of afternoon slumps, this could definitely help give you a better head start.
3. A pair of blue light glasses so you can read emails without a headache (at least from the blue light). They minimize ~digital eye strain~ to prevent midday crashes caused by your glaring screen, so you actually stay in the zone.
4. An extra-loud alarm clock to actually wake up early like you promised yourself the night before. Why, you say? This has no snooze feature. That's right. If you're one to always sleep way past your intended time, it's a new day. Mainly because there's no way you're falling back asleep after hearing this ringing.
5. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes for conquering scary messes wherever they happened ā including on your carpet. Meaning: these are about to become your version of cleaning if you're not even sure how to use a vacuum (and people will have no idea).
6. A portable personal blender, because this'll help you fight late afternoon slumps with the energizing power of delicious smoothies. Your berries just want to cheer you on as you use all the willpower you have left to reply to one email.
7. An elephant desk organizer that'll finally declutter your space ā something that's probably quite distracting. And! It holds your phone so you don't religiously check it, instead of doing your work. Your notifications will be much easier to quickly read...just maybe mute that group chat for now.
8. A set of fine-point markers so you can make writing up study guides feel less like annoying homework, and more like arts and crafts. Sometimes the only way to learn that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell is if it's written in purple.
9. A memory foam seat cushion for making sure back pain won't distract you when the daily 4 p.m. *slump* hits at work. This'll help improve your posture, maximize comfort (hello, molding and padding), and perhaps even make you happy to be at your desk. AND it responds to the heat of your body.
10. An LED table lamp, because this'll make your bedroom as bright as possible if you're an adamant night owl and can't be changed. This'll ensure it never gets dark enough to just "give up and go to bed". Don't. You. DARE.
11. A pair of cushioned ballet flats that'll help you stay on your feet all darn day whenever your schedule is filled with back-to-back meetings. No, you can't call in sick. You'll make it to all of them ā and still look polished!
12. A pack of energizing mints so you get your late afternoon caffeine fix *without* a coffee run (aka no time wasted). Its formula of caffeine, vitamin B12 (for your energy), and peppermint (for your breath, lol) work together to get you energized, minus the usual jitters or crashing.
13. A productivity timer for balancing your tasks and breaks. You work for thirty minutes and chill out for five minutes ā studying is manageable when there's light at the end of the tunnel.
14. A pack of food containers, because this'll make it easy to finally get on the meal-prep bandwagon. You'll be a lot happier eating homemade meals for lunch instead of the vending machine chips again.
15. An exercise ball that'll improve your posture and strengthen your core all while sitting down at the office. If you haven't made it to a workout class since, well, ever this is a great way to squeeze in some very light activity. Plus, reviewers say this helps to increase their productivity since it makes sitting at a desk a little less mundane!
16. A desktop document holder with an adjustable clip to keep important documents that you REALLY can't forget about, lose, or straight-up ignore right in front of your face. Procrastinators, meet your match. Your tasks are watching you.
17. A fitness tracker with all-day activity monitoring so you're gently reminded to get your butt moving when you've been sitting on the couch all day. You'll be excited to see more than the two steps you took to the fridge ā errands...you win this time.
18. A daily planner specifically designed to increase productivity, time management, and overall ~progress~. It helps you set up monthly, weekly, and daily goals so tasks feel less tedious ā it's all about the big picture!
19. A mini essential oil diffuser for creating a soothing atmosphere whenever you start to panic about how lazy you're feeling. It's hard to be productive when you're in your own way ā some peppermint aromatherapy oil should help clear your head and regain focus.
20. A pack of Scotch-Brite non-scratch scrub sponges, because this'll easily conquer tough messes (why must lasagna punish us so?) without needing to let them "soak" for several decades. The painful process of washing dishes is over before you know it.
21. A pack of Shout dye-trapping sheets that'll let you throw your colored and white laundry in the wash together, meaning you'll stop wasting your money on fluff n' fold. You can do it YOURSELF ā at least when it's this easy. These'll lock up loose dyes found in the water!
22. An all-natural tension relief balm with aromatherapy benefits so you can soothe late afternoon headaches and spend less time rubbing your temples and more time getting your work done. At long last, a day where we didn't just stare at a wall.
23. A weekly and monthly planner for making this the point in your life when you actually become more organized and productive ā no more realizing that paper is actually due...today. Oh. Good thing we spent all night watching The Office. And because this is dateless, it's never to late to get started!
24. A bottle of herbal sleeping aids, because this'll guide you to dreamland for (hopefully) a FULL EIGHT HOURS. Not to sound like your mom, but it really is important to feel well-rested in order to do your best the next day.
25. A rapid egg cooker or peanut butter packets that'll let you always have easy, protein-packed snacks on hand so you have plenty of energy when you start to feel hanger creep in. It turns out you DON'T need to stare at the same email for 30 minutes when your belly is happy.
26. A Chrome extension called StayFocusd so you can increase your productivity by restricting the length of time you can stay on time-sucking sites like Reddit. Apparently homework gets done a lot faster when you don't watch an hour's worth of conspiracy videos on YouTube first.
27. A mousepad weekly planner for making it practically impossible to forget the tasks at hand. Plus, it's hard to get mad at your tasks when they look so optimistic.
28. A Swiffer wet and dry mop, because you can rely on this as the easiest solution to picking up the dirt, hair, and other grime that's been living on your floor. If you hate cleaning, this will make it as painless as possible so you feel like you're living in an actually tidy home.
29. A meal-planning pad with two sides: one to brainstorm weekly dishes and the other to keep track of groceries. Now you can actually make your own food, instead of wasting all of your paychecks on takeout. It even has a magnetic back to put on the fridge so it's almost impossible to forget to use.
30. An organizational charging dock that'll point all your cords in the right direction. Will you concentrate better with all your electronics in one place? I'm confident enough to say YES. So long, group chat. We were only talking to you to avoid work, anyway.
31. A habit-tracking calendar to make both short-term and long-term goals and be better about achieving the daunting work tasks you usually blow off. This'll actually help you watch your progress so things like "responding to my boss before they ask me to" seem attainable.
Let's be real ā it's actually really hard to nap with your eyes open. Just doing your work is easier š.
