Start your day by jotting down everything you need to do on this cute and encouraging notepad. Paper might seem retro in our world of apps, but physically writing things down can help you retain the information better. Plus, it always feels so good to cross something off a to-do list.

If reaching for your phone every two minutes is your biggest productivity struggle, it’s time to download The Forest App. You set a timer for how long you want to be focused and a tree graphic starts to grow on the app. If you interrupt the timer, the tree will die—which, sad! The more you focus, the more trees you add to your forest, making it a fun way to game your productivity.

It’s hard to be productive when your whole body aches. If you find yourself feeling super uncomfortable at your desk most days, it might be time to invest in an ergonomic chair.

And, since everyone’s different, it has eight different points of adjustability so you can personalize it to your body.

One easy way to stay productive is to commit to getting work done in short spurts. Try a time management method like the Pomodoro Technique, which has you focus on work for 25-minute increments followed by five-minute breaks. While it might be tempting to just set the timer on your phone, using a separate timer like this one will help keep all the distractions your phone brings with it at bay.

This small but mighty to-go charger has seriously changed my life. The fact that I can plug all the wires I need (for my computer, phone, etc.) into this socket and leave it plugged in and ready to use near my workspace has saved me from wasting time trying to find the right plug for my electronics. Plus, it charges fast!

Noise-canceling headphones can be a godsend, especially if you work in a crowded office or share home office space with a loved one or roommate. What’s particularly great about this lightweight style is that you can control the level of active noise cancellation. With a 0-10 scale, you can completely shut off the world or just lightly tune it out while you jam to your favorite playlist.

If you are struggling to break certain habits that get in the way of your productivity, this book is your answer.

Sitting all day is not only bad for our bodies (hello, neck and back pain), it also contributes to that good old midday slump. I love using an adjustable laptop stand like this one because it helps me to re-energize by standing up for portions of my work without having to fully commit to a standing desk.

Being more mindful can be a game-changer when it comes to managing your time. Practicing meditation first thing in the morning with an app like Headspace can help you start the day with greater awareness and presence, helping you to stay focused on your activities and catch yourself quicker when you get off course.

Our sense of smell is very powerful, and different scents can have an impact on our mood. Add this lovely oil diffuser to your workspace and fill it with essential oils like mint or lemon to give yourself a much-needed energy boost when you feel sluggish.

Clutter can be a major distraction. Taking a few moments every Monday morning to organize your space can help free up your time for more important things later in the week.

A cluttered mind can be overwhelming and curb your productivity and creativity in the long run. Brain-dumping your thoughts onto this planner can help you identify your top priorities and plan out your day accordingly. Just don’t forget to allot time for breaks and snacks!
