Workspace Essentials: 17 Items to Make Your Life Easier

When you are at work, you want to make life easier. Having the right tools at your desk will help you stay organized and get your work done efficiently. Some items may already be a part of your desk, but it never hurts to add a few more. Here is a list of 17 items you should consider having at the office.

  1. Acrylic Organizer

An organizer can help you keep track of important items. They come with various compartments so you can sort items according to preference. The best part is you can even use them at home to store small things. Opt for the acrylic organizers as they are transparent, and you can quickly find what you are looking for at a glance.

  1. Graphing Calculator

Many people underestimate the value of having a good calculator at the office. While you can get away with a regular or even a scientific calculator, we recommend getting a graphing variant. These calculators are a one-stop solution to all your computational and graphing problems. They have a long life-span and some can still run on solar power once the battery runs out.

Even if you do not crunch numbers on a regular basis, there is no downside to getting a graphing calculator. You can draw up accurately scaled graphs on the fly and impress your colleagues. If your interest has peaked, be sure to make the best comparison between the different graphing calculator brands before making a purchase.

  1. Compact Calendars

Calendars should be a staple in every workspace. You can quickly look up dates and plan your work accordingly. Count the days until your vacation as well, and soldier on!

  1. Utensils

Work can get hectic, and it can be difficult to find time to eat. Nothing feels worse than sitting down to quickly grab a bite but finding no utensils around. Always keep a set of cutlery at your desk and some napkins so you can eat in peace.

  1. Hand Sanitizer

The office can be a messy place. You have to shake hands and handle equipment throughout the day. Now, you do not know where they have been! Clean hands are the most effective way to combat germs. Consider getting a hand sanitizer to keep those hands from getting dirty.

  1. Desk Lamp

If you are burning the midnight oil on a regular basis, then a desk lamp can be your best friend. Some lamps come with clamps, and you can attach them to the side of the desk, allowing you more space. There are even ones that come with a USB attachment to plug into your computer directly!

  1. Dust Wipes

Your desk naturally gets dusty over time. Before leaving work, you may want to quickly wipe down the surface area with dust wipes. Excessive dust buildup can cause sneezing. They can even cause harm to your electronic devices.

  1. Mini Fan

On long summer days, it can get swelteringly hot. Sometimes even the air conditioner does not feel enough. You start to feel sticky and motivation for work just flies out the window. Consider getting a small fan to keep you cool during these times. They come in modern and retro designs so the sky’s the limit!

  1. Space Heater

Just like the summer, winter can be brutal, too. It can be uncomfortable to work while you are wearing gloves and a scarf. A small space heater can provide you with heat, and keep you warm and toasty.

  1. Mini Vacuum Cleaner

Everyone snacks at their desk. Whether it is a cookie or candy, it is always nice to grab a treat. They can leave crumbs on your desk and can attract ants. Simply get a mini vacuum cleaner to quickly clean everything after you are done snacking. On top of that, they come in adorable shapes and sizes.

  1. Cable Clips

If you have several electronic devices on your desk, their wires can get out of control. Soon, you will find yourself in an entangled mess and sorting them out can be a nightmare. Cable clips can help you manage those pesky wires by holding them in place.

  1. Humidifier

The office can get dry pretty quickly. The air conditioner is almost always on, and eventually you start to feel uncomfortable. Invest in a small humidifier to keep the air around you moist. Your skin will thank you for it later.

  1. Desk-Mounts

You can install desk-mounts to keep things like headphones suspended and at arm’s reach. They usually go under the desk and can be a great way to save some space on your desk. You can also hang keys from them so you know where to find them quickly.

  1. Seat Cushions

Your office chair may have been there for a long time. Eventually, these chairs lose their spring and become uncomfortable. If a new chair is not in the mix, you can get a seat cushion. They make your chair feel like it’s brand new!

  1. Small Plants

Plants can be a great addition to your workspace. They bring out your personality and add a touch of nature to those concrete walls. Succulents are an excellent choice as they do not require constant care. Just water them once in a while, and you are all set!

  1. Globes

Nothing exudes class more than having a globe on your desk. They instantly increase the aesthetic value of any workspace and let your colleagues know you are a cosmopolitan. Some globes have a secret compartment to store items in there as well.

  1. Stress Ball

Work can occasionally become stressful. Sometimes the pressure is just too much, but you just cannot get away. Keep a stress ball in your desk, and whenever you are feeling overwhelmed, bring it out and squeeze it for a while. It will help you reconcile and relieve some of the tension.

Your workspace is like a second home. There is no reason you cannot be relaxed at the office just the same. A stress-free environment is essential if you want to get through the day in an efficient manner. Make it your own and have fun while doing so.
