Equip Your Workspace: 10 Must-Haves for Your Desk
When spending a majority of your day at a desk, the right tools can make a significant difference in productivity and overall job satisfaction. Here are 10 items to consider if you feel your workday is lacking:
1. Quality Desk Chair
A comfortable and ergonomic desk chair is the foundation of a productive workspace. Considering the amount of time spent sitting at a desk, investing in a chair that provides proper lumbar support and adjustable features can contribute to better posture and overall well-being.
2. Dual Monitors
Boost your productivity by investing in dual monitors/monitor arms. This setup allows you to multitask more efficiently, compare documents side by side, and generally enhances your ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
3. Height-Adjustable Workstation
The benefits of height-adjustable surfaces include increased blood flow, energy levels and productivity, and decreased risk of disease and joint/muscle pain. Studies show that the goal to a healthier life is to avoid sedentary workdays and any single position – just sitting or standing – for long periods of time.
4. Desk Lamp
Good lighting is essential for reducing eye strain and creating a conducive work environment. Choose a desk lamp with adjustable brightness levels to customize your lighting based on the time of day and task at hand.
5. Power Strips & Cable Management
Keep your desk area neat and safe with power strips and proper cable management. This not only reduces the risk of tripping over cables but also makes it easier to connect and disconnect devices.

6. Organizational Tools
Keep your desk clutter-free with organizational tools such as desk organizers, pen holders, and file trays. Having designated spaces for pens, paper, and other essentials can help you locate items quickly and maintain a tidy workspace.
7. Comfortable Keyboard and Mouse
Your keyboard and mouse are your primary tools for interacting with your computer. Invest in ergonomic options that suit your preferences, helping prevent strain and discomfort during long work hours. A great way to start is with ergonomic wrist supports!
8. Notepads & Writing Utensils
Despite living in a digital age, the value of handwritten notes cannot be overstated. Keep a notepad on your desk for jotting down ideas, to-do lists, and important information. And experiment with some pens to find the ones best-suited for you!
9. Simple Hygiene Items
Some simple hygiene items kept at your desk will encourage cleanliness and help you keep a healthier workspace. Having sanitizer readily available encourages regular hand hygiene. Disinfectant wipes are useful for cleaning surfaces such as your desk, keyboard, mouse, and phone, which harbor germs that regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of. And tissues are essential for personal hygiene and make it convenient to maintain good respiratory etiquette by covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
10. Personalized Desk Accessories
Add a touch of personality to your workspace with personalized desk accessories such as photo frames, plants, or artwork. Creating a personalized and aesthetically pleasing environment can contribute to a positive work atmosphere.
