WFH Essentials ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ’ป

I'm transitioning to a fully remote position and am looking for your wfh essentials. I previously worked a hybrid schedule and had a desk built-in at my last house so I'm sort of starting from scratch. Additionally, even days I worked from home before, I still often had in-person meetings throughout the day so I was always dressed up.ย 

Best desk, most comfy chair, what do you wear (will be having multiple video calls a day), favorite anything really!

I love this list. I also wear multiple vneck bright colored tops I got cheap at J.Crew online. Nobody sees your entire outfit.

This is a great list and I have been looking into a stand-up desk, my only addition would be two dogs! Best co-workers I have ever had.

Plus one to the dogs or a pet of any kind. I swear my cats sell my deals more than I do.

Cannot recommend a standing desk enough. I love mine from autonomous.ai

Also standing for calls is a game changer (especially for client/ prospect meetings) I feel way more energetic and can move while I talk.

Also for WFH some good ass weed

oh im here for this.ย 

DESK: Get a standing desk. its SO nice to be able to stand for a bit. A standing desk converter (what I currenty have) works just as well and is MUCH cheaper. Search Flexispot.ย 

HEADPHONES: MUST HAVE.ย 
I suggest a nice paid of noise canceling headphones I currently have the Bose Quiet Comfort( Most recent version)ย 

HEADSET:. This will make sure the ppl you are talking to just hear you and not any other noise in your house, AND will make sure you dont sound super echo-y like most people do.ย 
This also makes sure you can hear them well and noone else in the house has to listen in.ย 

I use Jabra Evolve 75 and love it.ย 

I also have a standing desk tredmill in my office which is super nice.ย 

Logi Tech webcamย 

some ring light to make sure you dont look like shit on your calls.ย 

BOOM.ย

Dress:ย  either a nice shirt/sweater or branded top; sweats or shorts on the bottom.ย  ย Have branded jacket handy in case I thought it was going to be a non-customer-facing day and we get a call, so I can toss the jacket on and be professional.ย  :)

my WFH situation:

no headphones - the audio from my computer is fine and the mic picks me up well enough that I hear no complaints.

Mostly t-shirts but I have a v-neck sweater on hand either for comfort or to 'dress it up' a bit.ย  I have a collared shirt hanging nearby if I REALLY need it.

Probably need to replace my chair.ย  It was nice a few years ago (~$150) but its getting worn due to the weight of all my deal wins.

Lamp to improve lighting for video calls.

Cheap rug for under desk.


For women I have noticed that just adding a scarf to anything they are wearing typically dresses it up enough.

Everyone else mentioned all the good stuff like beer fridge and lulu leggings. Only other essentials: Upgrade your internet! Seriously. Nothing is more annoying than someone whoโ€™s always frozen or glitching on calls.

Get a custom neon (thatโ€™s the name of the company) neon sign of your company logo to hang on your wall for the background on your callsโ€ฆI get sooooo many compliments and itโ€™s such a great ice breaker!

Also, I better get bonus points for following instructions and adding a pic. Sorry canโ€™t share a pic of the neon sign or else yโ€™all would know where I work ๐Ÿ˜‰

Do some research and see if your company has any programs that will let you expense or purchase WFH stuff for you. My company had an ergonomic program and I got-
