The future of work is remote, as far as 2020 is concerned that is. Our homes are comfortable in different ways our office working stations are. For most of us, its a challenge fighting the urge to lounge in bed all day, and with the warm Philippine weather it’s getting increasingly difficult to focus. This is all the more reason why you should assign a permanent workspace so you can set up your home office and concentrate.
To help with your remote work conditions, invest in products that would give you enough comfort throughout the day. These ergonomic items promote good posture and will benefit your health and concentration in the long run.

All that sitting doesn’t benefit your body especially if you’re the type to skip exercises. A good posture leads to better body balance and great health. Plus, it keeps your back and various muscles in your body from aching by sitting in the wrong position for hours. BackJoy’s Posture Plus is a proven back pain cushion that prevents you from slouching and helps you sit comfortably. You can even bring it to use anywhere from the office, at home, even while driving. For maximum comfort, their Core Traction line has thicker foam cushioning for long hours sitting.
All-in-one desk bike
P23,000 from FlexiSpot
Beat lethargy and muscle atrophy with this unique work-meets-gym desk bike. You’ve heard of ‘deskercise’ but all that meant was stretching your muscles every few minutes, with this desk bike, you can complete a whole bike race and finish your work in one sitting. You can even move it around the house to change your scenery. Although it’s a bit on the pricey side, investing in a workout machine while being able to work is not a bad thing.
Memory foam mouse pad

Working at home requires maximum comfort because otherwise, you won’t feel motivated to do your job. A good mouse pad is a cherry on top of ‘maximum comfort,’ why do you think gamers invest in them so much? We don’t always notice how the stress of typing and moving the mouse put on our wrists. Being mindful of your wrist posture will prevent you from getting painful conditions in the future such as a carpal tunnel.
