The pandemic has been tough for everyone, and if you have found yourself having to work from home, then you’d know how it can throw your whole routine into chaos.
With no end in sight for the near future, it seems that some of us may be working remotely for a while (hey fellow Sydneysiders!) so it’s important to set yourself up a proper professional workspace to keep that work/life balance in order.
So whether you’re partial to keeping a dedicated space for your work, or are more comfortable working from the comfort of your bedroom (guilty), we’ve rounded up a whole bunch of essential items you need to get through this weird and wild time.
Portable Dual Monitor for Laptops
If you’ve ever had to deal with going from a dual monitor in the office to trying to bang out your work on a dinky little laptop while working from home, you’ll know the pain of making such a downgrade.
Luckily, Amazon stocks a nifty portable dual monitor for laptops, which features a 12.5-inch screen that connects to your laptop via USB to give you that glorious dual-screen efficiency.

Available in a variety of designs, each sweatshirt comes with a cozy sherpa interior, a fleece exterior, along with a hoodie and front-mounted kangaroo pouch pocket.

If you can’t get yourself a really premium office chair with built-in lumbar support, your next best bet is to purchase one of these lumbar support pillows. It’ll provide instant back pain relief, and it’s breathable so you’ll stay cool and dry.
