Only $294 for an Entire Home Office Setup!

If you’re spending hours writing a blog or tracking your increasingly larger investment accounts, you should consider investing in an upgraded office set up. It turns out that an investment of $294 can be a game changer for you both from a comfort as well as a productivity standpoint.

I recently found myself in severe back pain inside of an emergency room. The root cause? Months of working in less than ideal conditions during the pandemic. Don’t let this happen to you! Below are some really affordable items that can change your home office life and increase your productivity, comfort, and well-being. 

Get a Standing Desk: $99

Seating for many hours every day is not natural for your body. Give your back a break by allowing yourself to stand up during your day, but still maintain your productivity. This stand up desk is a game changer and well worth the investment. You might actually find yourself more alert when doing some writing or other computer activity while standing. If you like my suggestion for dual monitors below, consider the 36” desk for $149. I highly recommend it, and the reviewers seem to feel the same way: https://amzn.to/3ncFn35

If you’re going to get a stand up desk, consider this very affordable anti-fatigue floor mat to help with foot comfort. 

Boost Productivity by Investing in Larger Monitors: $103

If you’re still working out of your small laptop screen, you are likely doing your eyes (and back) a disservice. Consider buying this 24” monitor at this very affordable price point. I first purchased these for myself at work three years ago, and they’re still going strong. Most of my team now have them, and even my boss joined the club. I now have them in my home set up also.

If you want a real life hack, consider buying two of these and having a setup with two screens. This was a huge productivity bump for me, as it allowed me to reference something on one screen (text, stock accounts, stock chart, bank account, etc.) while writing about it on the other screen or doing something else altogether. Are you a trader that likes to blog? You can have your eyes on both activities at once with two screens! Having multiple screens have never been this affordable.

My team at work all got the dual-monitor setup, and our collective productivity has skyrocketed.  Link: https://amzn.to/3gHtK1F

Get off the Couch and Buy a Home Office Desk: $67

If you are still working from your kitchen table or couch, it’s time to change your work from home game. This simple desk allows you a dedicated space to work from. It would also be an ideal desk in which to put the standing desk and monitors mentioned above on: https://amzn.to/379KsDx

Boost Your Spirits With an Office Plant: $25

 

There has been a lot of chatter recently about one’s mental well-being during the pandemic. There’s nothing more powerful to lift your spirits than a live plant inside your work space. Take a few minutes as a break and enjoy this beautiful live bonsai, and see your creativity levels rise. I personally have many plants in my office, and find them incredibly enjoyable: https://amzn.to/2KlC0rP

I hope this list helps you become more comfortable, more productive, and happier in your work at home set up!
