    33 Ingenious Home Products That Will Actually Help You Get Your Work Done

    From keyboard cleaners to standing desk cushions, here's everything you'll need to work smarter, not harder.

    1. A glass desktop dry erase board to optimize your workspace and save you from hoarding (and losing) a bajillion sticky note reminders. It even comes with a hidden storage drawer so you can *appear* to be keeping everything organized, even if your schedule might not be.

    2. A two-in-one keyboard and screen cleaner if you, like me, need a tip-top clean space free of grubby fingermarks and cracker crumbs in order to get any work done.

    3. A colorful waterproof desk pad, which enhances your "workable space" since it provides more room for your mouse to roam, and it can be reversed so you never get bored of the same old same old. What's more: it protects your desk, covers up any unsightly scratches, and the material is comfy enough to rest your arms and elbows on.

    4. An innovative Rocketbook Everlast smart notebook, aka the reusable, eco-friendly solve that alleviates the need to carry around multiple writing pads. This'll save you from throwing around papers trying to track down the notes you took two weeks ago, since you can scan them to your device as soon as you're done writing and clear the page to start again.

    5. A memory foam seat cushion so your bum never has to grace an uncomfy wooden chair ever again. This'll give you one less distraction since the gel-based construction molds to your body, supporting your lower back — aka pressure is relieved, posture is improved, and work can be over at a reasonable hour.

    6. A gorgeous set of cable organizers to save you from the panic that ensues once wires become so entangled, it seems like they'll never come undone ever again. These will instantly tame your setup (and your disposition) as they'll stay in one place thanks to their chic design and lil' adhesive backs.

    7. A laptop rising stand if you've spent the better half of the pandemic pining after your work's office desk — now's the time to ~elevate~ your WFH setup. Ta-to to the days of sitting stooped over your laptop with a furrowed brow for hours on end, now your screen can finally meet your eye level!

    8. An ergonomic mouse pad to support your wrist comfortably while you get in the zone and click through the 50+ tabs you've had open since the a.m.

    9. A six-outlet wall charger designed to keep you and your roomies from fighting over juice. Equipped with a nightlight and two USB ports, you can get all your devices up to 100 — even if everyone in the house happens to be pulling an all-nighter.

    10. A inconspicuous lil' utensil drawer you can stick and slide under any desk to keep pencils and pens at arm's reach the next time your boss says "are you writing this down?!" An added perk? Your work- and headspace can now remain free from clutter.

    11. A fourth-gen Echo Dot for the at-home worker who could really use some help organizing their day. With Alexa as your own personal assistant, you can set reminders, alarms, and even order some evening 'za as a reward for completing all your tasks.

    12. An unbelievably adorable display stand to keep your glasses safe, so you can focus on double checking your emails for typos instead of spending hours that turn into days trying to relocate your specs.

    13. A sleek foldable desk lamp if your home office is... how you say... reminiscent of a dungeon. This takes up the *least* amount of space anywhere you put it and provides a great source of light so you can actually see the work in front of you. (And it ensures you won't look like you're calling in from an underground bunker on your next Zoom call.)

    14. A simply remarkable dry erase door hanger to stop any intruders (read: hungry kids and S.O.s) in their tracks. With this handy hook, you can let others know that *now* is not the time to barge in and interrupt your workflow.

    15. Two memory foam armrest pads to upgrade your less-than-comfy office chair. These'll support your arms and relieve the pressure from your 'bows, so you can sit through your next ~painful~ two-hour meeting comfortably.

    16. A coordinated desk set for anyone who favors anything matchy-matchy. These lush hues will spark so much joy into your WFH setup, you might actually look forward to sitting down at your desk and cranking out those Monday morning emails.

    17. A tiny (and adorable!) cactus humidifier designed to turn stale air into a refreshingly hydrating mist that'll help you on your way to your 5 p.m. deadline. Plus it connects via USB, so you can keep it close by to clear up sinuses.

    18. A Philips sunrise-mimicking light and alarm clock for anyone who could use some help optimizing their circadian rhythm (aka sleep-wake cycle). This soothing clock won't bolt you up like regular ol' alarms but instead, wake you up gradually *and* it works in reverse with a sunset feature, too. So you can get your day off to a refreshing and less groggy start.

    19. An insulated soundproofing strip that sticks to the outer rims of doors so you can *finally* block out the sound from your roommate's 15th client call of the day.

    20. A portable dual monitor because having multiple windows competing for desktop space is less than ideal when you're trying to get a last-minute project out the door. The bonus? This screen moves with you so you can take it from room to room if your WiFi happens to get spotty in the likes of your childhood bedroom.

    21. And speaking of! A Wi-Fi extender will strengthen your connection if you happen to be stuck in an internet dead zone. This will boost your service, so you can watch YouTube tutorials all the way through without fear of them freezing.

    22. A digital wall print with a comforting reminder to step. away. from. your. desk. I'm guilty of this too, but you'll find you're actually way more productive if you give your eyes (and mind) a screen break every hour or so.

    23. A two-tiered adjustable platform raiser for all you standing desk folk who simply cannot take a job sitting down. This will transform any surface into a raised work station so you don't have to shell out for a pricey piece of office furniture.

    24. And an anti-fatigue cushioned mat that one reviewer claims was "woven by angels." Now you can power through your presentation without the distraction of achy legs.

    25. A convenient cold brew maker that I don't think I would have gotten through the work-from-home year without. Because having freshly brewed coffee ready and waiting for me every morning on tap has saved me time (and my paycheck).

    26. And a coffee mug warmer for the sipper who can never finish their piping hot coffee or tea in one sitting. With three heat settings, you can attend that virtual meeting you forgot was happening knowing you don't have to microwave (or worse, remake) that morning cup o' joe.

    27. A light and colorful bluetooth keyboard with soft-touch keys that you can connect to your iPad *and* cellphone. You'll be laughing in the face of your typing-on-a-touchscreen past since drafting emails, responding to texts, and completing assignments just got so much easier.

    28. A sleek and compact rolling desk bike made famous on TikTok! Reviewers who have a hard time leaving their desk once they sit down say that this is a great solution to keep moving *and* it rolls so it can be stored away when it's not in use.

    29. A white noise machine that'll tuck so nicely away on your desk, you might not even notice it. And speaking of not noticing things: Construction on your roof? Roommates playing video games in the middle of the afternoon? All taken care of thanks to a click of a button and the soothing sounds of rushing air and nature.

    30. A canvas half-wall organizer created with 20 compartments to keep craft supplies, tools, gadgets... whatever you need to do your job efficiently in one neat and tidy spot. Hooray, calling it quits at 5 is finally in your future!

    the cream-colored organizer

    31. A nonslip cooling pad because you're all too familiar with the overzealous hum that comes from your laptop right when you're in the middle of a big assignment. This will prevent it from overheating (even for you, yep, you with those gazillion tabs open) so you can place it on your lap without fear of it scorching your thighs mid-meeting.

    32. A classy customizable dry erase calendar you can prop up on your wall so the whole fam can keep track of their to-dos throughout the month. No more ugly whiteboards or paper calendars since this reusable solution will look like part of the home décor in kitchens and offices.

    33. An expandable desktop organizer (with drawers!) to tidy up your WFH station and give your supplies a designated place to live. And reviewers with at-home learners mention that this was the final piece they needed to complete their setup... because less mess = more productivity.
