As such, it is time to seriously consider remodeling your home office space into one that is more conducive and productivity-enabling.

Here are 10 great products – from ergonomic furniture to white noise machines – that will help relieve some aches, make your work hours more pleasant, and aid you to complete more tasks in less time.

10 genius products that will make WFH more productive
Omnidesk Pro 2020 - The Wildwood Collection, $1,059 from Omnidesk
image

Not all tables are created equal. The key feature of this local design is the ability to adjust the height between 60cm and 125cm from the floor. This gives you the versatility to use it as a regular desk while sitting or convert it into a standing desk.

Ergomeister FAEZ8ERG Ergonomic Office Chair, $899 (U.P. $1,699) from Ergomeister
image

Poor sitting postures can cause aches and problems to your neck, shoulders and lower back. This German engineered ergonomic design supports healthy and proper posture through features such as spinal and lumbar support so you won’t feel fatigued even after being seated for long hours. Mesh is also used to construct the seat and backrest to prevent heat-trapping by allowing air flow. Tailor made for any body type or structure, the head rest, arm rest, seat and chair height are all adjustable and there’s also a comfortable reclining backrest <135-degree. Our favourite part? A 60-day trial that gives you a risk-free purchase with a full refund if you find it unsuitable. And if you choose to keep it, there’s a 15-year warranty. Ergomeister must be really confident with this chair.

Arccoil Anti Fatigue Mat, $45 from Shopee

Advocates for standing while working swear by its ability to help combat the negative effects of being sedentary and seated all day long. Standing for prolonged periods, however, comes with a price tag of strains on your joints and lower back. A plushy standing mat like this will help alleviate pressure by adding cushioning. This mat also boasts anti-slip properties and a bevelled edge to prevent tripping.

Mouse pad is often an overlooked tech essential until we face problems with our mouse’s tracking responsiveness.

It also has a high-density rubber foam base to provide cushioning and anti-slip.

Gimars Upgrade Enlarge Gel Memory Foam Set, $16.76 from Amazon

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful and debilitating condition that can occur due to repetitive wrist movements (read: using your computer or phone for prolonged periods). To relieve the tension in the nerves along your wrists, get a wrist guard to reduce the strain on your wrists when you type on the keyboard and use the mouse.

LectroFan Classic White Noise and Fan Sound Machine, $180 from Lazada
image

Research by the University of Oxford has found that a moderate level (70 dB) of ambient noise aids with creative thinking, while another by Massachusetts Institute of Technology has found that white noise helps with learning and memory.

White noise does this by drowning out distracting noises with soothing sounds that supposedly improves concentration. A white noise machine, such as this LecrtoFan model, can help generate soothing white noise to make your work (or sleep) more effective. This model offers 20 unique sounds and adjustable volume control.

Arctic Stainless Steel Tumbler, $19.90 from JML
image

We like our hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. This sleek vacuum-insulated tumbler checks both boxes and is built with a splash-resistant lid. We’ve tried it, and are amazed by how it kept our ice from melting. With the wide mouth opening, you could even fit your reusable straw and drink from it.

Pomodoro Tracker, free
image

Pomodoro Tracker is a free-to-use website that helps you manage your schedule into bite-sized timeslots. It emulates the Pomodoro technique created by Francesco Cirillo where each task is allocated 25 minutes to complete, followed by a five-minute break before you embark on the next task.

This could be particularly useful for those who have many tasks on hand but find it difficult to multi-task, or procrastinators looking to use their time more effectively.
