Audible Subscription
Reading is not only relaxing, but it helps with focus, it promotes self-growth, and is a habit of highly successful people. Just because you may find it hard to sit down and pull out a book to read doesn’t mean you have to skip out on all the great reads that are out right now. With thousands of audio books ready to go, you have a wide selection of books to choose from for that (possibly) long drive home from work.

Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer
Everyone deserves to have a nice, hot cup of coffee to give them a little extra fuel in the morning (or in the afternoon) and this little mug warmer is the perfect fit for your desk. It heats the coffee up quickly, has a long extension cord to reach the wall, and even has indicator lights so you won’t forget when it’s on.

Cell Phone Stand
One screen is probably not enough for you, as you’re making phone calls on one device and typing information onto the other. Keep your iPhone charged and ready to go so you don’t miss out on that next call, and keep it in a stand so you can check on the screen as needed. Keep it convenient for yourself.

Posture Corrector
A standing desk might be an easier solution, but they certainly aren’t cheap. Regardless, you don’t want to skimp out for yourself on your own health. Posture is significantly impacted after spending large portions of the day in front of a computer and is worsened by sitting. Throw this on for a simple 20-30 minutes a day to help ease the physical burden of being hunched over all day.

Fitbit Charge 3
Get up, move around, take a stroll. Studies show that sitting for 8 hours or more a day can be hard on the body, but that it can help significantly to take strolls and walks and to do stretches throughout the day to get the blood flow moving and to stretch the limbs a bit. A Fitbit Charge 3 device (great review here) serves as a great reminder that you need to get up and move about multiple times a day.

Stain Remover
Yes, this one is quite a bit less fun than some of the other accessories on this list, but if the presentation is everything, you might want to get that coffee stain removed from the top of your shirt before you head into the Skype conference this afternoon. These are quick, efficient, and don’t damage fabrics. Keep one in your work desk for an emergency.

The added bonus: it’s a recorder as well as a pen, so you can take notes verbally or record important conversations to come back to later.
