Ever since the pandemic started I feel like more and more people are working from home. I have personally been working from home since 2015 so I have had many years to test out pens, planners, all sorts of stationery, tech, planners and so much more. Below I have listed all of the best work from home essentials that have made working from home both fun and more productive.
HOME OFFICE ESSENTIALS: PENS & STATIONERY
Let’s start with the fun stuff. I truly think that if you are a stationery lover then having cute and good quality stationery will make you want to use them and therefore get a lot more work done.
WORK FROM HOME ESSENTIALS: PENS, MARKERS, & HIGHLIGHTERS
Some comfortable and fun pens to write with are the Paper Mate Ink Joy Gel Pens (ad). These pens have a comfy grip to them so it makes writing comfortable. They come in a variety of different vibrant colors which makes them extra fun to write with. I have never had one of these pens smear when I write so if you are left handed these might be some to consider.
The Pilot G-2 Pens (ad) are also super nice to write with. The ink flow is great and they come in a lot of different colors. If you’re into color coding your notes or planner then these are also a great option.
If you want a pen with a thinner barrel with different color options and a comfortable grip then look no further than the Zebra Sarasa Clip pens (ad). These pens have an amazing clip to them which makes them great for holding pages together. I have not had a problem with these pens smearing when I write with them which is always a plus for keeping notes looking super clean and organized.
If you like fineliner pens then the Pigma Micron pens (ad) will probably be your favorite. I find that they give a very precise look to my writing.
If you do a lot of highlighting and don’t love those super bright neon colors all over your paper, then check out the Zebra Mildliner highlighters (ad). These highlighters are great because of their muted colors and their double ended tips. The Zebra Mildliners have rarely ever shadowed on any of the pages I’ve written on. The fine point tip is also great for writing headings on notes.
The Tombow Dual Brush Pens (ad) and Amazon Basics Brush Pens (ad) are also great for highlighting. I use these on my planner and they are also great for Bible journaling.
THE PERFECT CUSTOMIZABLE PLANNER
Great planners that fit your specific needs can sometimes be hard to find. A great customizable planner to check out is the Golden Coil planner. You can choose from a variety of different layouts ranging from horizontal, vertical to daily. You can also add extra pages in your planner like year at a glance pages, budgeting and project pages. If you’re really into food and wellness then you can add food, meal prep, and workout pages. They have so many more options on their site so definitely take them into consideration for your next planner.
I personally love their project pages the most for brainstorming blog posts and YouTube video ideas. Also, the paper quality on this planner is outstanding.
THE BEST NOTEBOOK
If you write a lot of notes or like to write lists on good quality paper then check out the Lemome notebooks (ad). These notebooks have thick paper that are great for almost any pen or marker.
WORK FROM HOME NECESSITIES
TECH FOR WORK FROM HOME SETUP
Tech is a very important part of working from home. In this YouTube video I show you all of the tech I use everyday.
LAPTOP & ACCESSORIES
For blogging and editing YouTube videos my laptop of choice has always been the MacBook Pro (ad). This is the laptop that fits my needs and I’ve never been disappointed with it.
To make my work from home setup as ergonomic as possible I got this laptop stand (ad), this mouse (ad), and this Akko 3068 mechanical keyboard (ad). My Akko mechanical keyboard also has 17 lighting effects which makes it so much fun to type on.
All of these items have made working from home a lot more comfortable.
FAST INTERNET IS A MUST
Early on I realized how important it was to have a fast internet connection. After a lot of research I decided to get Xfinity wifi, this Motorola Modem (ad), and a Google Nest Mesh Wifi Router (ad). This whole setup is what works for me and I have never had a problem with my internet connection.
These are all of my absolute work from home essentials. I’d love to know what yours are as well!
