Say goodbye to the old, and hello to the new
When will we ever see our offices again? With the surface of a new Covid-19 variant and daily cases hitting an all-new high, not even a fortune teller can give us a definite answer. So back to working from home it is, and we’re doing it properly this time around. That is — we’re no longer leaving our office environment barren nor compromising with make-do equipment. We learned the hard way last time that not having the right tools hinders productivity. And if your work life is portraying these six signs, you know the drill, it’s time for your work tools to get an upgrade.
Starting with the desk, here are six items to invest in to give your WFH setting a wee bit of life, perhaps even making your co-workers jealous at your next ZOOM meeting call.
1. When Productivity Is Declining
Behind every fast-replied email is a trustworthy keyboard that dutifully responds to every command. But not every claviature does its job as fast as the Logitech K480. Hence, if speed and aesthetics are a concern, this one fits the bill. Its Bluetooth range covers up to 10m and can connect to multiple kinds of devices including PC, tablets, smartphones (android and apple)! This would come in handy when you decide to switch between the desk and couch when working.
2. When Health Is Affected
Listen, if your neck aches are getting worse, don’t blame it on age but posture. We don’t realize it ourselves but we unconsciously push our head forward when looking down into a screen. Consequently, the muscles in your neck become strained. Well, aside from physiotherapy, a solution is to invest in a monitor. A curved one by Xiaomi’s the perfect fit if you game too, they serve the best kind of immersion.
3. When You’re Tired Of Going Back & Forth
Depending on the nature of your job, some folks really need a second screen. A new monitor usually’s the deal, but if you find them too bulky for your liking, a tablet should be your port of call. More precisely, Lenovo’s Yoga Tab. Despite coming in at an affordable price tag, its features are the bomb: a solid screen, good speakers, and deep Google Assistant integration. Aiding you in work is one thing, this one’s also built for excellent media consumption.
4. When You No Longer Take Charge
All those back-to-back messaging, checking e-mails, and accidental YouTube video discoveries during work drain battery juice real quick. Without a doubt, you’d be plugging your phone into a charger most of the time. Cables mean mess, but it’s nothing you can’t fix with Vertux’s wireless charging station. It comes with a smart chip that prevents the charging pad from overheating. A plus for safety.
5. When Your Eyes Are Constantly Blurry
Being alive in the 21st century means it’s almost impossible to work sans screen. And with that comes the discomforts of a strained eye. Eye drops won’t get you the relief anywhere near this eye massager will provide. Just pop this on for 15 minutes and your vision will regain its clarity back. Don’t worry about the size, it’s nothing bulky as it’s 180 degrees foldable. Plus, you can also listen to your favorite music while you wait. Yes, it connects to Bluetooth music!
6. When Noise Becomes A Problem
Whether you have noisy neighbors or really thin walls, headsets are a must when working from home. Though make sure you turn to JBL for quality audio, theirs have been known to be the MVP. Like this Quantum 600 Wireless Over-Ear Performance Gaming Headset that offers unbelievably accurate and immersive sound, so you will never miss a detail. And whenever a meeting is involved, flip the dial down for seamless communication.
