Whether you're a lawyer, digital nomad, or entrepreneur trying to balance work and travel seamlessly, you know that finding and traveling with the right work equipment is crucial. Just because you need to work doesn't mean you don't get to play, and avoiding stiff neck, carpol tunnel, back and joint aches will allow you to appreciate your downtime that much more. As a former lawyer turned travel blogger and entrepreneur, I've tried and tested all the tools (and had them approved by my engineer-husband!) Read below for the solution that combines comfort, efficiency, and flexibility to enhance your productivity and playtime wherever you go!
The Essentials of Ergonomics (and portability for travel)
The Laptop Stand to Elevate Your Workstation
When creating your ergonomic work station for travel, say goodbye to neck strain and back pain from hunching over your laptop for hours. This portable laptop stand is a game-changer, allowing you to adjust the height and angle of your screen to eye level, promoting better posture and reducing discomfort. Lightweight and compact, this folding laptop stand is a must-have accessory for your remote work arsenal.
Fun fact: this photo was taken while using the stand at a coworking space in Taipei, Taiwan. Yes, it's been everywhere! Get yours here.
Ergonomic Keyboard: Type in Comfort
Typing for extended periods can strain your wrists and fingers. An ergonomic keyboard with a split design and adjustable angle helps reduce muscle strain and wrist discomfort, allowing you to type with ease and comfort. Pair it with your laptop or tablet for a seamless typing experience on the go.
Everyone always asks me about the ergonomic keyboard featured above! It folds in half and is super easy to transport.
Currently, it's only available in Taiwan (email me if you want one!)
External Monitor: Expand Your Vision
Sometimes, a single screen just doesn't cut it; especially if you run multiple businesses (my blog and coaching business) like me, or just want to work faster and more seamlessly. Enhance your productivity and multitasking capabilities with an external monitor. Whether you're working on spreadsheets, editing photos, or coding, the extra screen real estate provides the freedom to spread out your workflow and see the bigger picture – quite literally!
Tech Tools for Your Ergonomic Work Station
Portable Mouse: Click Away Anywhere
Never underestimate the convenience of a portable mouse when working remotely. Precise, responsive, and ergonomic designs make navigating through documents and websites a breeze, enhancing your efficiency and comfort while on the move. Compact and wireless, a portable mouse is a travel-friendly companion for your digital tasks.
Personally, I recommend the Logitech MX Master 3S:
This cordless mouse is designed with comfort, convenience, and sustainability in mind. Its ergonomic shape supports a natural wrist posture, making it ideal for long hours of work. Perfect for travel, it works seamlessly across multiple devices and operating systems, and its advanced tracking even works on glass surfaces. I like how it incorporates certified post-consumer recycled plastic and is certified carbon neutral, too.
Conclusion
Creating the ultimate ergonomic setup for working remotely and traveling on the go doesn't have to be complicated. By investing in the right laptop accessories and tech tools, you can optimize your workspace, enhance your comfort, and boost your productivity wherever you are. Take control of your work environment, prioritize your well-being, and enjoy the freedom and flexibility that comes with a well-equipped mobile office setup.
So, whether you're jet-setting across the globe, hopping from coffee shop to coworking space, or simply working from the comfort of your own home, equip yourself with the tools you need to work smarter, not harder. Embrace the power of ergonomics, and let your creativity and productivity flourish in any setting!
Travel smart, work comfortably, and stay productive on the go with the ultimate ergonomic setup.
Remember, your workspace is wherever you make it – so make it work for you!
