12 convenient items to help you work from home
Working from home is a private place, but having a computer alone may not be enough. Therefore, we will introduce 12 items that are more convenient to work from home. Use this as a reference and choose items that will help you get your work done.
1. Mobile display
A mobile display is a product that can be used as a dual display even if it is connected to a laptop or smartphone. Many computers used in the office have large screens, but most of the computers used at home are laptops, so they may not necessarily have large screens.
When using a laptop for private use, it may not be so inconvenient, but when it comes to work, using only one small screen is inefficient and stressful. By using a mobile display, you can easily set up a two-sided system, and you can launch multiple software, which makes work easier.
2.PC Stand
The PC stand allows you to adjust the angle of your laptop so that you can easily see it. If you work with your laptop without a stand all day long, you spend a lot of time with your head down, which can lead to poor posture, which can lead to stiff shoulders and headaches.
Also, keeping the same posture puts a strain on your lower back. By using the stand to change the angle, the screen will be easier to see and the keyboard will be easier to touch.
3.Headphones and earphones
When working from home, you often have web conferences, and headphones or earphones are indispensable at that time. For web conferencing, choose one with a microphone. It is necessary to choose a device with good performance so that the voice of the other party can be heard clearly, and the voice of this side can also be heard clearly.
Headphones and earphones are also recommended when working while listening to music. It is also a good idea to listen to music with headphones or earphones for a change of pace while working, such as when your home is noisy and you can't concentrate.
4. Web camera
In addition to headphones and earphones, a web camera is a must-have for web conferencing. Laptops often have a built-in camera, but if you want clearer and stress-free image quality, choose a high-quality webcam.
Many of them are easy to install and can be removed and stored when not in use. There are many types of cameras, such as autofocus cameras that automatically focus and cameras with microphones, so be sure to choose the one that suits your purpose.
5.USB hub
If you are working from home and using a computer, you often use peripheral devices, and the USB port on your computer may not be enough. A USB hub is useful in such cases.
You can increase the number of USB ports by inserting it into the USB port of your computer. There are two types of power supply: a type that supplies power from inside the computer and a type that supplies power from an external source using an AC adapter.
6.Electronic memo pad
An electronic memo pad is a convenient item that can be used in place of a handwritten memo pad. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from small notes such as dates and phone numbers to design ideas, and has a wider range of uses than handwritten notes.
You can easily delete the notes when they are no longer needed, and you can also lock and save notes you do not want to delete. It is useful for taking notes during web conferences, but for families with children, it can also be used as a drawing pad during private time.
7. Anti-peeping filter
An anti-peeping filter is a useful item when working with a laptop computer at a cafe. You can prevent prying eyes when there is a possibility that others can see your computer screen.
It is also convenient to use when you do not want your family to see confidential files while working from home. There is also a function to suppress blue light, and it is a product that can be used everyday other than to prevent prying eyes.
8.Computer case
A computer case is a product that allows you to safely carry your precious laptop. It is a must-have item when you take your company computer home and work on it, or when you take your home computer and work at a cafe or rental space.
The computer case works to protect the computer from shocks, and there are types that can be used simply by opening the bag without taking out the computer when using it. Bags with many storage pockets are convenient for those who often carry small items with them.
9. Desktop cold air/humidifier/air purifier
In hot weather, the area around your computer will also get hot. In such a case, you can work comfortably with a small desktop cooler. A desktop humidifier is also useful in the dry season. In addition, if you have a desktop air purifier, you will be able to work without stress during the pollen season or when you are concerned about the smell.
You can arrange these goods separately, but there are also products that combine three functions, so you can work more comfortably while keeping your desk clean.
10.Standing Desk
A standing desk is a desk that allows you to work on your computer while standing. Working while sitting for long periods of time can lead to poor posture, which can lead to stiff shoulders and lower back pain. Working at a standing desk can help you refresh your mind and prevent drowsiness.
There are two types of height adjustment: an electric type and a gas pressure lifting type. If you don't have space for a new desk, we recommend a tabletop standing desk that sits on top of your existing desk.
11.Chair cushion
When working from home, you often have to sit for long periods of time, which puts a strain on your lower back. A low-resilience chair cushion is recommended to prevent back pain. It reduces the burden on the lower back by distributing the body pressure.
Also, just by sitting down, you will have the correct posture, so you won't get tired easily. Some cushions come with covers that can be removed and washed, so the cushion itself can be protected from dirt.
12.Armrests
Armrests are recommended for those who often have stiff shoulders and tired arms after working on a computer for a long time. Attach the armrest to the desk and place your elbow on it.
It reduces arm fatigue by firmly supporting the elbow. The point is to choose the one that is as durable as possible because it can bear your weight. It works best with your dominant arm, but you can use it with both arms as well.
Summary
We have carefully selected and introduced useful goods for working from home. The convenience goods necessary for each individual will vary, but by skillfully using these convenience goods, you can transform your private space into a comfortable workplace.
Let's create a comfortable work space by choosing convenient goods that suit you, and create your own work space with less stress.
