Desk Essentials

Working from home, the new normal…

I have been doing this for years. Ever since I started LetsGetLexi, working from home or on the road has been my office. It’s not always easy to stay motivated and focused at home where you also sleep, lounge, and have friends over. 2020 created this work from home space for everyone and I am finally sharing the desk essentials that make me successful.

Pens

Black pens, colored pens, both are good to jot down to-do lists, notes to self, and other important details from the workday. I like both colored and black so I can color coordinate or bold something. Piña Pal Mal recommends these Crayola Erasable Highlighters, too!

Desk Pad

Game changer! This desk pad comes in great colors but also keeps your keyboard and mouse from sliding, which is a must for me!

Salt Lamp

I love my salt lamp! It doesn’t bring a lot of light, but it has so many other benefits. It’s a mood booster, improves sleep, and cleans the air. Plus, it’s super cute for the workspace.

Organization

This is so key! I use these clear bins in my desk draws to organize my pens, sharpies, scissors, all the desk materials! It makes it easy to go and grab what I need because I know where it is. Piña Pal Mal also recommended a coffee cup as a great place to keep your pens, too! Maybe even a Pineapple Labs one!

Legal Pad

This is by far the most important item. A place to write things down whether it’s a notebook, sticky notes, or my personal favorite, the legal pad!

I added more items to my Amazon shop that I have on my desk, too. Your desk space is so important especially at home! When your workspace feels good, you work better, I just know it. Be sure to let me know what your favorite desk materials are too, I am always looking for me more!
