Money-Saving AI-Ready Workspace Ideas for Your WFH Job/MSME
Optimizing Your WFH AI Job or MSME Startup to Save Money
Transform your workspace resourcefully to boost productivity and save money. Utilize existing furniture/fixtures as a standing desktop for the right laptop height to benefit your health and circulation. Add essential wired or wireless accessories like keyboard, Silvertec ergonomic mouse, and Hytac USB hub for a streamlined, AI-ready setup, making work healthier, efficient, and easier with smart energy management.
Standing desk or fixture with eye-level laptop height
The ideas given in this blog post are for those who want to save funds on capital expenditures in their AI-powered polywork or Philippine MSME startup. Instead of renting or buying new office furniture, this blog post suggests ways to arrange whatever is in your home so that a healthy and productive WFH routine is attained.
Working in focus mode with a laptop can make an important detail forgotten: the need to balance sitting down, standing up, and moving around to recover lost mental energy and rebuild physical energy.
This is important for health, especially for the spine and shoulder muscles. These muscles get sore from working in a sitting position. It can impede blood circulation.
If one balances sitting down and standing up (after an hour of work on a laptop), a healthier and more agile work routine is established. The eyes can also rest for a few minutes as one stands and moves around.
If a piece of furniture is available in the house, such as a bookshelf or a movable wood cabinet, these can be used as a standing desk for a laptop.
That fixture should steadily hold your laptop and its screen at eye-level height, making your standing position straight while you work, and your blood circulation working well.
- This workspace arrangement prevents a sedentary direction in work
- It has certain long-term benefits for one's internal organs and the circulatory system, which is important for the five vital organs of the body: the heart, the brain, the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs.
- From a standing desk, it is easier to respond to a doorbell, a phone call on the landline, and others in the house or your condominium unit who ask for attention or assistance. And it is easier to attend to the Meralco meter reader or water utility meter reader at the gate.
- A standing stance from your laptop can give that strength and endurance way beyond your midlife and golden senior years.
Standard office desk: For work w/ laptop & paper documents
Besides that fixture that sets your laptop screen at eye-level height, you can also place a standard office desk for both laptop and paperwork. (An old square dining table can be used.)
With a comfortable chair, this acts as your main command position. All wireless laptop accessories and other office supplies can be organized here.
A standard office desk can be set up near the standing fixture for greater laptop mobility and easier workflow between the standing desk and the standard office desk.
Wired computer keyboard and mouse
A wired computer keyboard and a wired computer mouse can easily be set up here.
A 4-port Hytac usb hub for a printer setup can also be added.
This Hytac USB hub is useful for any transfer of files between your mobile phone and laptop with a data cable.
Wireless devices: For the office desk
A lot of space is needed for working with paper documents and folders. Wireless devices would be practical.
Wireless devices will eliminate the inconvenience of wires interfering with documents and folders.
A wireless keyboard and a Silvertec SC-EM01ergonomic wireless mouse can easily be set up. Some wireless keyboards are rechargeable and do not need batteries.
Affordable Hytac wireless mouse packaged with free AA battery
The Hytac 1200dpi wireless optical mouse is a simple and easy plug-and-play portable device.
There is no need to take extra steps to pair it with a laptop. Just plug the Bluetooth receiver into the USB port of the laptop, and right-click the Hytac wireless mouse to begin.
