- I've found eight products that are crucial for keeping my productivity and focus alive.
I recently joined the 8 million or so Americans who work from home.
This new working arrangement has allowed me to gain much more freedom and control over my days. I can set my own hours, take snack breaks in my own kitchen whenever I want, and even work in pajamas if I see fit.

Here are eight products I use to keep me focused and productive while working from home.
