If you're anything like me: Your desk and home office gets messy real quick.
It's one thing to nicely set up your home office and desk, but, it's another thing to keep it
clean and well organized, In today's video, I'll share the gadgets and tricks I use to keep my
home office fresh with minimal effort to foster an environment to do our best work every day.
I'll also be giving away an item from this video so be sure to stay until the end for the giveaway!
The first port of call is cleaning the nasties out of the nooks of my keyboard mouse and earphones
that not only look bad but can sometimes impact its use fortunately it's a breeze to clean with
this multi-purpose cleaning tool that i got from amazon this single tool surprisingly
fits nylon bristles flocking sponge high density brush metal pen tip and a keycap puller all in
one for most keyboards you can simply brush out the dirt and gunk with the long tipped brush but
if you have a mechanical keyboard the keycap puller is pretty useful in a deeper clean
the metal pen tip and mini brush is an absolute gem when it comes to cleaning mice and headphones
too and getting all that nasty gunk out in areas that you don't want it to be in
seriously look at all the junk just left behind now that we're done cleaning out the accessories
and you know judging just how embarrassingly dirty my earpods are i usually like to have an
area to stash my items that i regularly use off of my desk i recently got this beautiful desk a
towel organizer it's designed in nara japan and this sits on my left hand side on my dash shelf
and it's wooden accents are made of japanese elm it's where i leave random quick access stuff like
my spare pens coins phone and my watch when i need to run out the door i like to reserve the
desk space for must use items because i like to keep it as clear as possible and keeps me focused
on what's most important the task at hand usually on the screen and if i'm burning the midnight oil
one extra item that i love having on my desk is a candle there's something about the flicker of
a candle light that evokes focus and calm at the same time this candle here is from dipty
i think that's how you pronounce it it's a french brand and this one is the centau scent
it elopes the air with inviting and slightly spicy fragrance i also rate dipty's iconic bay
scent if you're looking for a candle to decorate your space too along with the candle i also still
use velopsebus diffusers to keep a steady scent lingering throughout the day i find scent just
as powerful as sites when it comes to decorating your home office and you know it's a worthwhile
investment in my opinion the next edition is the biggest game changer to keeping my home office
neat and clean a robot vacuum cleaner the robo rock s7 max v ultra i'm partnering with robo
rock in today's video and i can tell you that this isn't just any other robot vacuum cleaner
this is a next-gen robot cleaner that's able to automatically vacuum mop empties its trash refuels
its water tank wash its own mop and holds up to seven weeks of dust it's seriously impressive
i have the robo rock s7 max v ultra set to clean my home office daily and it's pretty automated so
you know my office gets messy throughout the week and its obstacle avoidance system reactive ai 2 is
able to recognize and avoid obstacles accurately so it doesn't suck up cables and run into all my
camera gear it works through its pair of cameras that sort of acts like eyes and is able to avoid
27 types of obstacles so i don't need to waste time worrying about what's on the floor while
it works away there is up to 5100 pa suction power which is great for carpet and is able to
suck up fine dust and reach deeper into carpets but this nifty robot instead decides the suction
power based on my floor type automatically so when floorboards or tiles are detected like in
the kitchen the intelligent mop mode turns on and it starts scrubbing the floor with sonic vibration
and lifts back up when it detects carpet again so yeah it's intelligent and diverse enough that
i can leave it to do its thing while i work away and then when it's all done it auto docks itself
and fast charges and i can see all the stats through the companion at two 2 my ocd gets a small
kick from this this thing is essentially a robot made and a powerful one at that even the name
sounds like a serious transformer in battle the robo rock s7 max v ultra pretty intense i'll drop
a link below if you want to check it out yourself and maybe outsource a short to this robot too
next up and just as practical is this herman miller aeron this chair is used by president steve
carell and obama for example i've been talking about this chair for some time but just couldn't
fathom dropping two thousand dollars plus on an office chair i finally bit the bullets and like
many others i realized i should have invested into it earlier the aeron is iconic for a reason where
most office chairs tend to prioritize aesthetics over productivity the aeron is uncompromising
after weeks with it it is by far without a doubt the best office chair i've actually sat on
this one here is the newly released and remastered aeron onyx the main change here is of course the
jet black onyx colorway and the fact it's now made of ocean-bound plastic without compromising
the world-class hermann miller ergonomics when i was shopping for this i sat on other herman miller
chairs like the embody cell and cosm but the aeron was my personal favorite it looks amazing in the
office and i totally recommend saving up to one if you can next up let's tackle dust dust builds up
quick in most spaces especially if you have carpet and so i usually dust down the home office weekly
i found out that standard feather dusters can potentially scratch delicate surfaces like
screens and push dust and debris around so i change to a microfiber delicate duster and it's
loads better it just picks up a lot more dust and is pretty easy on surfaces i picked this
one up from amazon and it has a non-slip rubber handle with a detachable head so i'm able to throw
it into the wash rather than continually buy new dusters which is a waste of money and not
great for the environment in the first place in talking of cleaning surfaces i want to get rid
of these eyesore skid marks left from the previous monitor arm rather than go through the hassle of
repainting the entire wall i got this magic marker and well it didn't really work as well as i wanted
but hey at least they're a little less noticeable now but yeah this isn't really something
i recommend out of this entire list the other cleaning kit that i love and works far better
as this gob cleaning kit for streak-free displays the glass cleaner is plant-based with deionized
water soybean and drain extract this kit also comes with a blower fine brush and two oversized
microfiber cloths i've yet to find another high quality cleaning kit so well packaged
and environmentally conscious 40 or 50 dollars and i have no clue why but the prices jumped up
to a hundred dollars which is so overpriced in my opinion talk about inflation hitting us hard right
going back to the shelf on my left organizing any paper documents is important unfortunately it's
not as easy as you know dragging and dropping them into a digital folder though i've never been a fan
of the magazine files on the bottom shelf they're just an eyesore in my opinion they look so 1990s
so i've replaced it with this bamboo folder organizer this sent me back about 90 us dollars
but you get what you pay for beautiful high quality bamboo dividers that feel really sturdy
and its rubber feet ensure it doesn't slip around this is a piece that far better suits the woody
aesthetic of the shelf once again and it goes to show how important it is to thoughtfully buy
pieces that complement one another greenery also goes a long way in an office space too
my home office doesn't get much natural light so it's tough to grow plants here but i do have a
snake plant in this area which seems to thrive and i also grabbed grove mate's hand-sanded hardwood
planters to house a succulent it brightens up the space with some green and is accented with
stainless steel to match its surroundings i also like to use this indoor plant food formulation
to help the plants thrive in a low light environment by giving it the nutrients it's
lacking i also decided to change the felt desk pad with a leather one just to change things up
this one is in grove mate's medium size which i find perfect for this hit stand
desk it's just large enough to give flair to the desk without overrunning the entire space
plus it's sized perfectly to shift around the desk and all the accessories that's conveniently sit on
it i often try to make buying decisions for the home office based on two things practicality and
design that's why i settled on the audio engine a2 plus wireless as my new desktop speakers they're
a great mix of minimalistic portable design while actually being amazing quality speakers
they're a step up from my previous boring looking bose companion 2 speakers and lifts up the desk
space that much more this one just looks great and it complements the entire aesthetic of this desk
