Nowadays, a lot of jobs require you to work in front of a screen for hours on end whether you're typing in numbers, words, code, or creating and designing something digitally. Either way, it's good to have a few things around your workspace other than your computer. Here are a few.
1. Desktop Whiteboard
Ideas come and go, and sometimes we have to jot them down or else we'll forget them. Instead of paper, you can just get yourself a whiteboard for your desk. You'll reduce paper usage and this particular item has more uses than one.
It comes with a slot where you can place your phone as well as a smaller one where you can put it in your marker. It also opens so you can store other things like spare markers, paperclips, or any item you can manage to fit in there.
2. Desk Cup Holder
It's a known fact that liquids and electronics don't mix, so instead of living life dangerously and placing your cup beside your computer, you can just buy a desk cup holder you can attach to the side of your table. As a bonus, this one comes with a headphone hanger, and it can also hold mugs.
3. Chair Cushion
Since you will be spending hours stuck to a chair, you might as well get comfortable. A back cushion will provide you with proper lumbar support so your back won't hurt after a long day of sitting. It also comes with a seat cushion, so you won't have to feel like you're sitting on hard ground while you work.
4. Blue Light-Blocking Glasses
Prolonged exposure to a screen may result in eyestrain, headache, or blurred vision. To avoid that, you can buy yourself a pair of blue light-blocking glasses. Other than keeping you from experiencing visual fatigue, it will also prevent your screen exposure from affecting your sleep cycle.
5. Handheld Vacuum
A messy workspace is a terrible workspace. It's just good sense to keep your work area clean especially when it comes to food. Nothing is more annoying than having ants on your desk. For small messes like crumbs or pieces of paper, you can use a handheld vacuum.
This particular vacuum is cordless so you won't have to add to the wires your computer has. It also comes with a wall mount base that also serves as a charger. You can use its upholstery brush for fabric surfaces like your mousepad.

6. Single Serve Coffee Maker
Working in front of a computer can get boring very quickly, and being bored usually drains the energy right out of you. Get yourself a little caffeine boost to fix that, and to make your life easier, you can just purchase a coffee maker and place it near you, but at a safe distance from your computer, of course.
7. Under Desk Shelf
A cluttered workspace is just no good. You'll sometimes have trouble looking for certain items since your desk is messy. You can get yourself a storage space under your table so you can organize your items better. It also serves as extra space when your table is already cramped.
