Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.I work from home full-time. I love it, but recently I had to make some changes to my routine after a health diagnosis prompted some serious conversations about how much time I spend at my desk. Things needed to be updated in my office to help keep both my mind and body healthy if I were to continue working from home, and I had to make some serious swaps.Also: 7 WFH gadgets that seriously improved my workflowSome of these included lifestyle changes, like walking more than I did previously during the workday (thanks to my walking pad), while others involved completely upgrading the products and furnishings I was accustomed to. I swapped my basic standing desk for an adjustable one and my uncomfortable desk chair for an ergonomic one, and I reorganized my messy, tangled cords to fit my new desk into my tiny office in a more aesthetically pleasing way.There are plenty of other tweaks to be made in the future as my condition changes, but for now, these are the five items I've swapped into my WFH office, why I had to, and why you may want to consider the same. 5 gadgets I swapped into my WFH setup (and why) After working from home for almost 3 years now, I knew it was time to upgrade from a basic desk. About two years ago, I added an adjustable standing desk to my workspace to make it easy to incorporate a walking pad (and more steps) during my day. After many months of use, I was ready to fully commit to a true adjustable desk in my refreshed home office space. I wanted something simple and sleek, that looked good both at standard height and while elevated for standing or walking. Eureka's Ark SD is the perfect choice. It has a drawer for storage and an appealing wood-like tabletop that makes my tiny office feel luxe. It also adjusts up or down with the touch of a button, so you can customize your WFH experience whether you're on your feet or in a chair. Plus, I'm five-foot-ten, and it goes plenty high, so this will work for taller folks, too. It's an investment piece, with a nearly $1,000 price tag, but for a fully WFH employee, I think it pays for itself on the daily. This desk has been key in helping me maintain my step count and mitigate some new health challenges, which I'll be writing more about soon for ZDNET.
