What are some WFH productivity essentials? Not talking about the basics (keyboard, mouse, extra monitors, etc), more interested in some unique additions to your home office setup.

I play 8h 4K visuals on YouTube on my tv that have soothing music. Yoga mat and foam roller nearby (great to lie on top of mid day to let your shoulders fall back and stretch).

Foot rest, and a comfy mat for when I use my standing desk. Also have a rocker to stand on. Flip clock app and world clock on a monitor nearby too.

I keep the house colder during the day, and put a heating pad over my lumbar pillow. Feels like spa relaxation. Also, really good smelling candles.

like

Acoustic tiles to put behind my monitors, and in my “office” that soften the sound splash coming from my voice, the team/client calls, and keyboard. Less noise/sound clutter = less energy spent on focusing.

Ooh thanks!

Full XL sized standing desk from UpLift, ergo chair, hung a 43 inch tv to be able to watch sports center in the background during night time working hours after dinner. Have some sports memorabilia on the wall like framed jerseys and vintage posters, really makes it’s feel like not a soul sucking office.

A lumbar support if it’s not built in to the chair. I recently purchased a support that also had a bottom part. When you sit on the front part, it pushes the back part into your lower back. The support is the best I’ve felt in a long time and beats using a towel.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
