14 Work from Home Essentials to Make Your Life Better
Now that so many of us have been working from home for awhile, we’re getting into a good routine. For us, that includes relying on our handy planners, favorite coffee mugs (admit it, you have one too!), and dreamiest candles.
Working from our home office (or couch, no judgment here) can start to feel a little mundane after a while. That’s why our team has rounded up our favorite and most essential items that make working from home just a little bit easier and more enjoyable!
PS - if you’re still working on that getting into a good routine, we’ve got you covered. Check out our guide to setting a routine while working from home.

The Appointed Planner
This gorgeous and functional planner keeps us organized and in control of our days (and big plans!).
Order one here.
"I've been using Appointed planners and notebooks for 3 years now ... I rotate between their gorgeous colors. I love how modern and sophisticated the planner is, and I love how truly functional it is, too. I have space to write down all of my to-dos, organize my priority tasks, and jot down ideas as they come to me. It's the perfect planner — I never leave home without it!"
