You can work with just a laptop. But if you want to work fast, you need upgrades.
Here are the 10 Best Productivity Gadgets to Level Up Your Workflow.
1. Portable Monitor (Asus ZenScreen)
Once you go dual-screen, you can’t go back. This monitor is the size of an iPad, plugs into your laptop with one USB-C cable, and doubles your screen real estate. Edit video on one, write scripts on the other.
2. Roost Laptop Stand
If you look down at your screen all day, your neck will break. The Roost Stand raises your screen to eye level. Combine it with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Your chiropractor will miss you.
3. Stream Deck
It is not just for gamers. You can program buttons to do anything. One button to open all your work apps. One button to mute your mic on Zoom. It saves seconds, but seconds add up to hours.
Kiran’s Take: The Physical Timer
Buy a cheap kitchen timer. Set it for 20 minutes. Put it on your desk.
Watching the time physically tick down creates urgency. It forces you to focus. It is better than a phone app because you can’t swipe it away.
Conclusion
Tools don’t do the work, but they make the work easier. Invest in your process.
