Working from home is here to stay, so it's time to give your workspace an upgrade.
You don’t have to shell out hundreds of dollars for a fancy standing desk. Chances are, you already have a DIY solution in your own home – an ironing board. While it’s not as sturdy or quite as adjustable as a standing desk is, it’s certainly a more economical solution, as an added bonus it folds neatly out of the way when not in use.
You can also purchase an adjustable laptop stand that sits on your desk and can be raised and lowered to customizable heights. This can be quite useful if you do a lot of video conferencing, as it allows you to easily position your laptop at a good camera angle. If you’re handy, you can always build a laptop stand yourself.Adding some greenery to your workspace does wonders for both your mood and your productivity. Studies have shown that productivity increases by 15% when an office has plants.
If you have pets, be sure to research which plants are safe for your animals. Unfortunately many are highly toxic, so be sure that you aren’t bringing in something that can make your pet sick. Consider hanging plants from the ceiling or placing them on shelves that are out of your pets’ reach to ensure that both your plants and your pets stay healthy.You don’t have to shell out a ton of money for a pair of decent noise cancelling headphones – even the inexpensive pairs do their job.
A more economical option is to simply add a cushion to your existing chair. There are a number of ergonomic seat and back cushions that can be added to all kinds of chairs that instantly improve comfort. Another addition to make a desk more comfortable is a foot hammock. It attaches to the desk legs and allows you to stretch out and extend your legs.
