We are not going back to the way we worked before the pandemic. This new norm has opened our eyes to the benefits of having a remote workforce to drive productivity at work.
Being a remote team ourselves, we understand the importance of having the right tools to keep us focused. So we decided to search high and low for the must-have workspace gadgets that can keep us motivated and focused when we work from our home offices, and share some with you.

If you want a space where you can feel good in your body and do your best work at home, the most valuable thing you can do is begin by investing in an adjustable-height desk. The Jarvis desk is a popular favorite among the Verge’s staff. Easily assembled, it has the option to sit or stand, when you’re cooped up in your room or home office all day. This makes a big difference. Plus it looks great and has some nice customization options for color and desk material. It comes with a range of accessories like casters so you can wheel it around the house. It’s a comfortable, stable, spacious desk that has more versatility than typical desk options. Our favorite part is that, for the desktop, Fully uses sustainable bamboo grown without pesticides or fertilizers.

It has audio, ethernet, and power supply outlets, and is very light you can easily take it with you wherever your laptop goes.
LIFTiD is a sophisticated and safe Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (also known as tDCS) device supported by over 4,000 published studies, and designed & backed by a world-renowned neuroscience team. tDCS is an increasingly popular form of neurostimulation that applies a mild electric current through two electrodes to targeted areas of the brain as an alternative to chemical stimulants such as caffeine, sugar, and other performance enhancers. Liftid neurostimulation specifically targets the prefrontal cortex area of the brain, an area associated with cognitive performance, including attention, focus, alertness, and productivity. When preparing for an important meeting or presentation, put on the Liftid headband for 20 minutes to improve your attention and focus.

It has a pop-up webcam along with impressive sound and video quality. No more cramped windows or glitchy connections.
