WFH

If you’re working from home for the first time, it can be a big adjustment. Being productive while WFH includes many different aspects. Here are a couple of products to help your new routine go smoother as you take on your workday.

Lap Desk

Give a lap desk a try for the endless number of Zoom meetings in the foreseeable future. It can be a great product for students too. With the rave-reviews and awesome prices, it’s worth checking out if you’re working from home, even if you have a regular desk. You might be surprised how much you use it. There are a lot of good brands out there like this Lap Gear to Honey-Can-Do lap desk for under $20.

Flowers & Plants

Breathe some fresh air with a splash of healthy, live greenery. This Lulu & Georgia potted ZZ plant doubles as an air purifier in contemporary and modern spaces, with a jaw-dropping ceramic pot and silky leaves that will leave you smiling and grinding away as you get back to working from home.

*Important note: ZZ plants are not pet-friendly and are toxic to cats and dogs. Opt for a cute ponytail palm instead that’s pet-friendly and boho-everything. Please use pet-friendly plants only in your house which are easy to find with a simple google search. Your pet’s health and wellness is very important during this time!

Buy yourself some flowers, please. My favorite flower delivery company is a startup floral subscription company, BloomsyBox.com offering fresh handpicked bouquets on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis from sustainable farms around the globe. Each stem shipped is hand-picked and cut two to four days before you receive them! All their farms are eco-friendly Rainforest Alliance certified, which I think is awesome.

Not only are flowers great for your desk or somewhere in your office space, but they will brighten up any area of your home.

Be Creative

When you work from home, you have the all-out ability to create a space that truly motivates you. Start with implementing items that make you happy and worry about making it look good for the ‘gram later. This is about tapping into creating a space that inspires you. It’s crazy how that amazing poster of your favorite singer from the ‘80s reminds you to keep pushing for those dreams. So buy flowers year-round, write your favorite verses and quotes on sticky notes and hang up a picture that will make you smile everyday. Then go slay your workday.

Invest in Comfort

Whether I’m working from home, which requires extensive computer work, or I’m settling down for the day with some new episodes of the latest show a friend recommended, I love my Ergo21 Seat Cushion. Not only is it super comfortable but it helps alleviate the aches and pains that come from sitting for an extended period of time. The Ergo21 Seat Cushions are one of the most popular seat cushions for office chairs. And with modern chairs becoming increasingly uncomfortable, this is the perfect solution. With multiple other uses like Netflix-binges, long road trips with friends or zooming on mobility scooters, it’s a favorite among users and according to Ergo21 especially for those who suffer from back pain. Since my dad suffers from back pain, he tested out the durable Ergo21 Seat Cushions that have LiquiCell Technology. He loves it and uses it every day for support for his back for relieving aches and pains. It also promotes circulation and better posture.

Great for your home and working from home, the Ergo21 Seat Cushion is a great investment in making sure your environment is a comfortable, productive and functional space.

Declutter

By organizing and decluttering your work space and home for that matter, you can boost your productivity and reduce stress with a clean space. I didn’t say it was easy work, but if and when you have the time, it’s beneficial to spend that time spring cleaning and organizing starting with your home office.

Routine

It’s important to establish a routine to create a balance when working from home including waking up and getting ready for your day, having breakfast and lunch breaks, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and shutting down your electronics at the end of your day. Not only is it beneficial to take breaks, but it’s also important to get outside, so grab the leash, call your pup and slip on your sneakers for however many walks that little guy or girl wants to go on because it will be great for you too! It can be tough adjusting to a new routine of working from home so give yourself time to get used to it. It also might take time creating a space to stay productive while WFH but it will be worth it!
