It’s already certain, closed nurseries and kindergartens, primary schools on remote learning, we have another lockdown. For most of us, this may mean the necessity of remote work. Since we already have some experience from last year, we know that working in the so-called home office requires certain compromises from us. It is necessary to reconcile daily duties with the responsibilities imposed on us by the employer, to make this possible, we should create favorable working conditions for ourselves.
First of all, the workplace is very important, if possible, it is best to isolate ourselves from the rest of the household. We should also take care of our comfort, a comfortable chair, and a suitable desk. We should try to avoid working on the couch in front of the TV. A daily routine is important. Even if we don’t have to leave the house, let’s behave as usual. Get up earlier, eat a nutritious breakfast. Dress in a way that our outfit is neat and, if necessary, we will be ready for an online meeting. This will help us get used to the new reality. In remote work, self-organization of work time is important, let’s write down goals for the day, set alarms on the phone so that nothing escapes us.
Various gadgets can help us in remote work, let’s take a closer look at some of them. Available on our online store homescreen.pl are, among others:
Mouse pad
It might seem that mouse pads are no longer needed. So many years have passed since we sat at desktop computers, occupying the entire desk with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and even speakers attached to the central unit. Just the sound of connecting to the internet and we have a return to the past. In those times, mouse pads were essential for us to have control over the cursor. The optical mouse is a completely different comfort of work, but it is never so good that it couldn’t be better. To find out, you should try one of the modern pads, e.g., the Spigen brand, model A100 Mouse Pad Black. Thanks to the use of a micro-texture coating, we have a perfect sense of control. The balance between static and kinetic friction causes the mouse to move exactly as we want. The three-layer construction includes a silicone base, thanks to which the pad does not move, giving us a stable working surface for the mouse.
USB Air Humidifier
Too dry air negatively affects our health. Proper air humidification should be given special attention when we sit in front of the computer for several hours a day. Let’s take care of the best possible working comfort and equip ourselves with a small air humidifier. The Baseus Time Magic Box model is a versatile device that we can power by connecting to a USB port. In one device, we get an air humidifier, an aromatizer, and even a night lamp with pleasant warm light.
Desk Fan
Another seemingly unnecessary gadget is a desk fan. The truth is, anyone who has worked on hot days at a computer knows how it can increase our work comfort. The availability of fans and ventilators in the summer is very limited. Let’s not be surprised by the heat and think about it earlier. For a small amount of money, we can buy, for example, a Baseus Small Horn Desktop Fan Pink. The small-sized device can be powered from a computer, a wall charger, a car charger, or a power bank. The mobility of the device is its huge plus and makes it extremely versatile. The fan has two speed modes and a brushless motor guaranteeing quiet operation. A breeze of cool air will certainly positively affect our work efficiency at the computer.
Webcam
A basic tool for contact with clients and colleagues. Nowadays, when we don’t have the possibility of direct meetings, a good internet connection and a good quality webcam will help us make a good first impression. For example, the webcam available on our store’s website Havit HV-HN12G, allows recording in Full HD quality. Additionally, it has a built-in microphone with noise reduction function, so you can talk to contractors without major disturbances. The camera is compatible with most devices available on the market, and the 1.5 m cable allows for convenient installation.
Headphones with Microphone
Mandatory for remote work when we have annoying roommates at home or are raising children, who are known to be hard to persuade to play quietly. Conducting conversations and consultations requires our full focus and concentration on the interlocutor. Working in a bustling home is very troublesome, so it’s worth equipping yourself with a set of headphones with a microphone. Wireless headphones from AWEI are an ideal solution for those who value sound quality and comfort of use. The built-in battery allows for 14 hours of continuous work without charging. It’s a useful gadget that will make working at home easier.
Having little influence on the development of the situation, we are forced to cope in home conditions. Reconciling household duties, filling our children’s time, and remote work are challenges we have to face. However, we can make it easier for ourselves by supporting ourselves with gadgets that will significantly facilitate our work.
