Get an ultra wide monitor...trust me, you don't know what you're missing until you have it. It might take a day or two to get used to it, but it's an absolute game changer. Having one ultra wide monitor vs. 2-3 smaller monitors is no comparison

like

Does anyone have a specific brand of ultra wide? I bought a Dell ultrawide yesterday but haven’t taken it out of the box yet. I came home and read the reviews and they say it’s good for gaming, but not good for Windows usage 😩 (it will show the pixels). So now I’m back to researching. I have less than a week to figure this out. Help?!?! What monitor are you all using?!

like

Docking station and double monitors. Herman Miller chair (pricey but worth it).

Nice.
Steelcase is one of my favourites.

Plants! Oil diffuser. Light. Good art. Things that make you feel cozy and/or smile

A dock for your laptop to connect your monitor(s), internet cord, usbs, etc, , office chair with lumbar support, mini light for cam on calls, mouse pad with wrist rest

Thank you!
Will look into one as far as i can see at a time.

Marijuana, good headphones, and a comfortable chair.

I would not get anything done if I was high all day...but if it works for you that's great I guess

Tech setup (not really expensive): big dual monitors with adjustable stands, nice ergonomic Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Chair is probably the most important! I have a nice Herman Miller chair (expensive), but even that chair is uncomfortable after 8 hours. I actually have a second, overstuffed leather chair from Hooker Furniture that I like. I tend to switch between the two chairs throughout the day.


Desk or table isn't "that" important as long as height is correct or is adjustable. If it's off though, it can really mess up you posture.

Good lighting. Both from your eye health, but also because even the best webcams look like crap if you’re in a room lit with just a 60W bulb.

like

Wrist rest for your keyboard and mouse. I didn’t think I needed it but recently started feeling pain and has helped so much on those 12+ hour days of pure typing

like

A great chair, good lighting, and just keeping the area clean to minimize distractions.

Good mouse

Foot stool.

If you want to invest in a good chair (I knew this chair was worth the money because we had them in the office-I contacted the manager after a year of working from home and asked the chair info), I recommend this one:

Starting a new job during a pandemic: I accepted a job offer at a midsize firm (300 attorneys) and resigned from my old firm (12 attorneys) right before covid shut everything down in early March. 3rd year attorney; civil litigation.

If I had known at that time how covid would disrupt everything, I would have turned down the four job offers I had and stuck it out at my old firm.

I started at the new firm completely remote two months ago. Unfortunately... (cnt’d in cmts)
