Improve Workflow in Any Home Office

Google Nest Wifi

Pros:

• Easy Setup
• Fast

Cons:

• Requires Google Home app

Also available in packs of 1, 2, or 3, this mesh Wi-fi system is super easy to setup (you use your phone and Google Home app through the step-by-step process). The coverage is excellent through its mesh technology (see below), all while looking great too. Both the main router and the extender(s) are a delight to look at, versus some other routers that are big and rather clunky. You can rename your network in seconds (through the app), along with changing the password or creating guest networks. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

What is a mesh network? A group of devices that act as a single Wi-Fi network; so coverage is better than just a single router.

LG UltraWide QHD 34-Inch Curved Monitor

Pros:

• Excellent response time
• Beautiful to look at and use
• Unregrettable size

If you're ready for a monitor upgrade, the latest ones on the market are inexpensive, beautiful, and allow for much better multitasking.

I've had 2 curved monitors over the last several years, both over 30", and this most recent purchase is wonderful. With a resolution of 3440 X 1440, and a wide (curved) angle, this monitor won't disappoint. The display is crisp, responsive, and quick with a refresh rate of 60Hz. The screen is basically borderless, with an ultra small bezel. Plus, I love the convenience of being able to work on documents side-by-side on the ultrawide format.

HDR 10 compatible; Height & tilt adjustable stand; USB type-C connectivity.

Logitech MX Master 3

Pros:

• Unbelievable battery life
• Customize any Button to your liking
• Rechargeable

Cons:

• Requires smooth surface

I've had several mouses over the years, but my most recent purchase is a winner for so many reasons. First off, the battery life is fantastic with a full charge lasting nearly a month under daily usage. Second, the mouse is ergonomically comfortable and feels good on the hand. Lastly, I love the programmable buttons, in which there are 4 that I use all the time. For instance, you can minimize all your windows or Go Back in a web browser in 1 second. It's also wireless, and the accuracy of the cursor is perfect.

Wireless; Ultra-fast Magspeed (browser) scrolling; Rechargeable

Justin's Tip: If you work on a desktop, pair a wireless mouse with a USB extension cable so that you can put the USB mouse reader ON your desk versus trying to read it from behind your computer. Your cursor will NEVER skip!

VIZ-PRO Magnetic Whiteboard/Dry Erase Board, 48 X 36

Pros:

• Great size
• Inexpensive

Eveybody knows what a whiteboard is. But, Viz-Pro makes some of the best out there. They are magnetic, which is nice for adding tangible objects like documents to it. But most importantly, these white boards are good quality, and extremely useful for home offices. I love how they can help you organize accounts, contacts, to-do lists, and many other tasks.

Other sizes are available of course, but I've found the 48" x 36" size provides enough real estate that I can write down a multitude of lists all on one board, especially with fine-tip dry erase markers.

Justin's Tip: Use WD-40 to clean a whiteboard.
