Working from home is awesome… right up until your neighbor decides to drill his wall, your computer crashes or internet connectivity becomes unstable.
For many professionals, this work from home culture came in as a shock. No one anticipated it, and weren’t really prepared for it. Since this is the new normal for most of us ‘non-essential’ workers, we should make sure that nothing hampers our productivity.
Whether you are a teacher, digital marketer, a start-up or anyone else, it is always advisable to be equipped with few basic tech gadgets that enable you to function smoothly.
Before we proceed to talk about the gadgets you need during this work from home times, we would like to list a few tips that would help you to stay productive -
- Get started early- trip from home to office is comparatively easier than from pillow to the computer screen. So, dive into the to-do list as soon as you wake up.
- Pretend you are attending actual office- dress nice, make your coffee, take breaks when required. Stay connected to your office colleagues.
- Become your personal manager- structure your day just like you would do in office. Create events and meeting on online calendars.
- Find a dedicated workspace- just because you are not working from the office, doesn’t mean you cannot have an ‘office space’. Do not sprawl yourself up in the places associated with leisure but rather dedicate a room/space for work.
- Plan it all out- plan your work, do not leave it for later. This way it becomes easier for you to manage deadlines and chances of missing out on any important mail is cancelled out.
- Keep the track of mails- WFM means you are relying on emails for an official engagement, mostly. Put the tag on all your important emails as soon as you open them, so you do not miss out on anything.
- Make optimum use of gadgets- laptop, webcam, earphones, headphones, keyboard, mouse and all other things will come handy to you and your work from home schedule. Be comfortable around technology.
- Communicate your WFH expectations- make your family/roommate/spouse understand that even if you are home, you are still working, you should demand adequate space during work hours.
- Do not forget to take breaks- we cannot stress enough on this point. It is easy to get swallowed by the work but do not forget to take regular breaks.
- Play some relaxing music in the background- it will help you to go through the day.
Now, let us help you with the essential gadgets that you will require to get through the day of WFH:

Earphones with Mic

We suggest an earphone piece with attached mic, just like the Skullcandy Jib Wired In-Earphone with Mic. It has supreme sound technology which produces powerful, dynamic sound across all types of voices and music.
USB Wall Charger
