Office life may as well be a second home. If you are working a full-time job in an office, you are spending roughly a quarter of your time in this room. It’s yours. This is your seat, and your computer, and your keyboard – and basic office etiquette is for no one else to touch it. Like it’s your sacred setup.
Wait, it’s not? Then you need to sort that. There are a lot of gadgets on the market that can make office life a lot easier. They range from simple fixes that can improve the lives of everyone in the room, or personal items that just make life at the office a little more homey.
Take a look at our suggestions for office gadgets that make Monday mornings less dreadful.
Mug warmer
Are you someone who gets to working and before you know it the rest of the world has disappeared? You’re working on a task and it’s not until you’ve finished your task that you remember to take a sip of your coffee.
If that sounds familiar, you need a mug warmer. Leave it on your desk, with your mug of coffee resting on it like any other coaster, and a warm drink will be waiting patiently for your attention when you can give it.
Plus, there are so many variations. You can get some that hold your stationary, some that charge your phone, and more.
Laptop riser
If you’re not working with a PC, but maybe you prefer the direct eyeline that a PC monitor offers, you can get yourself an adjustable laptop stand. No more feeling a crick in your neck when you come out of your hunchbacked position over your laptop. You can shop till you drop online, play a shoot-em-up game or look for NBA betting odds, and be comfortable sitting in the suggested proper posture with your laptop directly in front of you.
It also is helpful if you just need to get out of that chair for a few minutes. Don’t worry, we’re not going to suggest exercise balls for seats. Simply stand at your desk with your laptop high enough to still scroll and type.
Triple laptop screen
Are you one of those workers who has dozens of tabs open at a time? And you need every single one of them so, no, you can’t close any of them, IT guy. Sometimes the one main screen doesn’t do it. You need one open on a document, another on your internet browser, and some extra piece of software over here.
You need a triple screen monitor. Technology has finally advanced so that there are portable extra monitors on the market for your laptop. Simply click the portable monitor to the back of your laptop and open out the two screens on either side for three screens you can work around. Plus, since it’s portable, it can go where you need to go.
