We’ve made it to 2021 with hundreds of virtual meetings under our belts. Countless hours spent hunched over our laptops, looking up to see kids (or dogs) instead of our coworkers. It’s been quite the adjustment, and who could have predicted that almost a year later we’d still be working from home?
If you’re like us and you haven’t yet built out a custom home office for yourself; if your commute consists of clearing off the dining room table or plopping down on the couch, we have a life-changing hack for you. @Christies has designed a WFH Caddy that makes your entire workstation portable and organized. As Christie puts it, with the WFH Caddy, “The house is your oyster.”
If you’ve been setting up shop at the kitchen table for a few days but need a change of scenery, you won’t be as hesitant to pick up everything and move to a new spot because of the daunting task of relocating everything. Each morning you can choose where to work, pick up your caddy, and go.
Another benefit of the work from home caddy is how quickly you’ll be able to clean up your workspace at the end of each day. Remote workers already have a hard enough time separating work hours from play hours- getting everything that could remind you about work out of the way is an excellent way to not remind you of work while you’re supposed to be relaxing.
Some WFH essentials that Christie recommends are:
- A desk blotter to define your space, act as a mouse pad, and keep your keyboard from sliding around
- A cord weight to keep cords from falling or getting tangled when they’re unplugged
- Your favorite mug- this is a great way to stay caffeinated (or hydrated) through your workday and send signals to your brain and your family that while that special mug is out, it’s work time.
The Work from Home Caddy is a great way to stay organized and productive while working remotely. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you in our Safe at Home Facebook Group!
