What are some purchases/gadgets that helped your productivity while WFH? For me its a new chair, second monitor, mechanical keyboard, a good mouse and new headset for calls.

New mouse ftw!!

Yes! So awesome.

Second monitor has been a godsend, for sure. Also a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse duo that allows me to easily switch between work and personal laptops, sort of like a KVM, has been clutch.

What chair did you go for? Would love to have a luxury $1,000 one, but refuse to break the bank....

I have a TV on my desk playing things I don’t really want to watch so that I have a sense of being around people.
