I am transitioning to fully remote and I am setting up a home office for the first time. My home office will be substantially smaller than my work office and I’m trying my best to stay organized. Can anyone recommend any products that really helped you stay organized? Or any products that have helped them excel while WFH. Products you just can’t live without? TIA!

Standing desk, standing mat, ergonomic mouse and keyboard.

I have a clamp ring light that also has a phone mount, a good adjustable ergonomic desk chair, lots of lamps, and a filing cabinet

Try to test out the chairs and desks in person. If you’re going to be spending a lot of time in that chair, and in front of that desk… you don’t want to fall prey to the charms of a really creative photographer. Also before you get the furniture, make sure your router/modem is accessible; I now have Ethernet cable looping around the floor to my IP phone. A bit of a trip hazard, but my cat is amused.
