A big monitor and a light-up keyboard that goes clickity clack when you type. It’s like built-in ASMR.
If i dont like the sound of mechanical keyboards, will I enjoy other things in mech keyboards?
A border collie. 🐶
Chair.
Just got a Branch Ergonomic chair and it’s been great
Convertible standing desk
I have had my eye on the Costco one.
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
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?!
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
Two+ 27-inch (or larger) screens with a docking station for your laptop.
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.
One of the cute boyfriends who don’t speak much 😇
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.
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
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:

A convertible standing desk and a standing desk mat (has raised spots for you to massage your feet as you stand)
