Invest in a good pair of headphones with microphones. That being said, a good pair of headphones doesn’t have to burn a hole in your pocket. Believe us, a decent pair will take all those meetings and audio calls to another level and possibly get a few blessings for clear audio from your colleagues on those long haul calls. 

Get yourself a back pillow. No, not those fancy memory foam pillows or an expensive office chair. A rolled-up towel or a decorative small pillow does an equally good job at giving your back the much-needed support through your work hours. 

Invest in a laptop stand and raise that monitor to meet your eye level. All those lessons on ergonomics will finally help you and your back and shoulders will thank you a million times. 

Consider lighting while on video calls. It can be as simple as finding a spot near a window or sitting across a source of light at your home. Nobody likes to talk to a black figure in the dark. 

Keep the work desk as clutter-free as possible and keep all the chargers handy. You don’t want to be running around the house looking for a charger in the middle of an important call. 

Keep a microfiber cloth and rag cloth handy. Dust build-up and spills are extremely common, again, you don’t want to be running around the house to find one when you need to clean up the spilled coffee immediately.
