Top 10 Desk Accessories to Make you More Productive

1. An Ergonomic Keyboard

How does an ergonomic keyboard make you more productive? By being shaped, it can reduce the tension in your arms, shoulders and hands. This means that you are likely to spend less time stretching or resting your arms. It will also help you learn to type a bit quicker if you are someone who struggles with speed typing.

2. Desk Timer

If you are working on a big project and need to take regular breaks, a desk timer is the perfect solution to break up your tasks.

Also, if you need a short sharp burst of focus time, this can help you concentrate on one single thing, knowing that you won't get lost in the task and end up spending hours on it.

3. Desk Lamp

Without being able to clearly see what you are doing, you could end up straining your eyes to see clearly. If you can't see your notebook or papers clearly, you are increasing the likelihood of making a mistake.

10. Adjustable Height Desk

Adjustable height desks are fantastic for posture, fitness, and therefore your overall productivity. With a whole range to choose from, we think simple is the best. Make sure it can hold the weight of everything you will be keeping on it (monitors, laptops). Most will have a mechanism to support lifting it up and down so you don't need to be super strong to adjust it.
