With so many of us still working home, it’s the perfect time to think about what we can do to make our work days more efficient. Working from home can be great—the flexibility, the ability to live in leggings, avoiding the commute—but it’s also really easy to fall into patterns of boredom, distraction, and isolation. Here are some work-from-home essentials to give you a fresh boost of motivation!

 

1.Headphones. If you have kids, roommates, or your partner at home, you may want to invest in noise-cancelling headphones. It really helps to focus, and let’s be honest, avoid unnecessary arguments.

 

2.Comfy clothes. We’re big fans of getting dressed for the day—it’s an important part of setting the tone for the day and feeling productive. However, who says it has to be constraining work attire? We wear these super soft IME leggings on the daily with a tank and a cozy cardigan. When Zoom calls are scheduled, we plan for a nice top. The Marla Tee Dress is another favorite of ours—it’s super comfortable, but it looks and feels put-together.

 

3.A funny mug. Nothing sparks joy like a mug that makes you laugh or motivates you. Head on over to Etsy or even Amazon and find your new favorite coffee buddy!

 

4.Mug warmer. Are we the only ones who get lost in their work only to find their coffee is cold? Rather than microwaving, keep your coffee or tea hot throughout the work day with a cute mug warmer (they’re like hot plates for your desk)!

 

5.Motivational wall art. Etsy digital downloads are a great option since they’re instantaneous. Just download, print, and frame!

 

6.A yoga mat. Working at a computer is not easy on the body. Take breaks throughout the day to move and stretch. It will do wonders for your posture, and even your mood.

 

7.A reusable water bottle. Remind yourself to hydrate with a big water bottle to keep on your desk. No, all that coffee does not count!

 

All of the above would make great holiday gifts for your loved ones who work from home, too.

 

Hope this list helps you conquer your work day and find new joy in working from home!
