WFH Essentials
So…it’s October and many of us are STILL working from home and personally, I’m having a hard time seeing the light at the end of this tunnel…
SO, I could sit here and keep crying about it OR I could make the best of it. Before Covid, I was a half glass full type of gal almost all of the time. Now…my glass is tipped over and spilt all over my white couch. I’m a mess.I need to pick myself up and get back in the game and to do so…I need to up my Working From Home game. Here’s what I have my eye on…
Hello !! Who is saying hello to you these days? Every day I used to be greated by the smiles on my staff’s faces and it would immediately start my day off right. Now…it’s my kids coming downstairs asking for breakfast and then fighting with each other.
Marble Mouse pad: Because you deserve a little glam next to your computer, under that mouse.
Color me Fucking Calm: I need this daily, sometimes even by the minute as this year has been full of unexpected heart ache, heart break and the loss of what was the best life ever. As Jerry Seinfeld said on Cobert last night…we are in in a global detention. I often find myself hiding in a closet, coloring now to keep me calm.
Pretty Pencils…that tell you you’re amazing. Because…we all need a compliment each and every day right now.
Novelty Memo Pads: These quite literally made me laugh out loud when I found them online. I don’t know why but now more than ever I have a million lists of things to do going at all times. I not only bought these for myself but as gifts to give this Christmas for every single person I know.
A Better Me is Coming Agenda: Man one can only hope for a better me in 2021….AND…a better year PLEASE!
Coffee mug warmer: Back in the olden days, pre-2020, I used to wake up, have my coffee and get the kids to school. Now…there is no leaving for school or work SO my coffee cup sits around for hours half drunk and gets freezing cold by the time I get around to finishing it. Having this coffee warmer on my desk for when I actually sit down to do some work has been a game changer for working from home and milking that cup of coffee all morning long.
Lap desk: Never thought I’d need one of these…but with all the shows I’m trying to watch on Netflix these days, my desk is sometimes my bed and my pajamas stay on all day long so….thanks 2020.
Coasters: These made me laugh out loud because there are now 4-8 water and/or drink glasses out and scattered around my house at any given time these days. Our number 1 priority is to stay healthy so these DON’T DRINK MY WATER PLEASE coasters are pretty convenient.
Light box: I got this awhile back, pre-2020 and I find I’m using it now more than ever. Whether it’s creating a note for myself to boost my own confidence or for my kids so they know just how awesome I think they are, it’s been a nice way to keep morale in our home up.
So what did I miss? Have any AMAZING items that I need to know about for working from home (or for my kids who are in school at home?!). Tell me in the comments below. I’m always looking AND starting to shop for holiday gifts now!
