I've been working remotely full-time since March 2020, mostly from my New York City apartment.
To improve my at-home desk setup, I bought a monitor stand with storage and a keyboard wrist rest.
I also have a "C" table and a laptop charger extension cord in my online shopping cart.

This monitor stand puts my computer screen at eye level and adds useful storage.

Scented candles fill my workspace with amazing smells - plus, they look classy in the background of video calls.

I'm still deciding which kind of "C" table would fit best in my space, but I'm convinced this will make working from the couch much easier.

My laptop charger isn't long enough for me to use while sitting anywhere aside from my desk, so I've been eyeing an extension cord, as well.
