Workspace Reset: Decluttering Tips for Hybrid and Remote Workers

Spring is the perfect time to hit the reset button on your workspace. Whether you work remotely, in the office, or alternate between both, an organised and ergonomic setup can improve focus, reduce stress, and boost productivity. But decluttering isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about optimising your space so it truly supports your work. That’s why we’ve put together these workspace decluttering tips to help you refresh your setup, keep only what’s essential, and integrate ergonomic tools for better efficiency. And if decluttering alone doesn’t solve the problem, it might be time to rethink your setup entirely.   Step 1: Clear Out the Unnecessary Start by removing everything from your desk—papers, accessories, gadgets—and reassessing each item. Ask yourself: Do I use this daily or weekly? Does it contribute to my productivity? If not, it might be time to let it go. Digitise where possible—scan documents instead of keeping piles of paper. Reduce cable clutter by using wireless or minimal wired solutions. Decluttering is not just about having a cleaner desk—it’s about making sure your workspace helps you work efficiently. Following these workspace decluttering tips will ensure your space stays functional, not just neat.   Step 2: Keep Only What Adds Value Once you’ve cleared out the unnecessary, focus on what truly enhances your work: Essential tech – Laptop, monitor, ergonomic keyboard, and mouse. Daily-use items – Notebook, planner, or any tools you frequently reach for. Personal touches – A plant, a motivational quote, or minimal décor to create an inspiring space. Store rarely used items in drawers or shelves to keep the desktop free. By keeping only the essentials, you’re not just organising—you’re optimising your setup for better focus and productivity. These workspace decluttering tips help ensure your desk remains functional without unnecessary distractions.   Step 3: Enhance Productivity with Ergonomic Tools A well-organised desk is great, but if it’s not ergonomic, it can still cause strain and discomfort. Consider making small but impactful upgrades: Raise your screen to eye level – A laptop stand with a document holder helps maintain better posture and prevents neck strain by aligning your screen and documents at a comfortable height. Use an external keyboard and mouse – A compact, wireless keyboard allows for a more natural typing position, reducing strain on your wrists and shoulders. Pair it with an ergonomic mouse that supports a relaxed hand posture to minimise wrist fatigue. Prioritise proper seating – If a new chair isn’t an option, an ergonomic seat cushion can improve posture and reduce discomfort during long hours. For example, tools like the Oryx evo D ergonomic laptop stand, Solo X wireless keyboard, and AVE /’a:vei/ ergonomic mouse provide flexibility and comfort, making it easier to maintain a healthy workspace setup whether you’re working from home or the office. Adding ergonomic tools is a natural extension of your workspace decluttering tips, ensuring that your desk isn’t just tidy but also optimised for long-term comfort.   Step 4: Optimise for a Hybrid or Mobile Setup If, after decluttering, you realise your workspace still doesn’t feel right, consider a mobile ergonomic setup that adapts to your needs: Lightweight ergonomic tools – A foldable laptop stand, compact keyboard, and wireless mouse allow you to maintain comfort wherever you work. A minimal desk setup – Keep only the essentials so you can easily transition between home and office without disrupting productivity. Flexible solutions – If your workspace setup is limiting, investing in portable ergonomic solutions can give you the freedom to work comfortably anywhere.   A Fresh Start for a Better Workday Spring cleaning your workspace isn’t just about tidiness—it’s about creating an environment that truly supports how you work. By decluttering, keeping what’s essential, and integrating ergonomic tools, you can boost productivity and comfort. And if you find that your workspace still isn’t working for you, it might be time to rethink your setup entirely. A mobile ergonomic workspace can provide flexibility and comfort, no matter where you work. Are you ready for a workspace reset? Take this opportunity to refresh your setup with these workspace decluttering tips and create a work environment that works for you!

Single vs. Dual Monitors: Is the Upgrade Worth It?

In today’s hybrid and mobile work environment, professionals need a versatile, ergonomic setup that enhances productivity without compromising portability. While dual monitor setups are often associated with fixed office desks, mobile workers and hybrid professionals can also benefit from a dual-screen workflow on the go. But is upgrading to a dual portable monitor setup truly worth it? Let’s explore the pros and cons of single vs. dual monitors for mobile professionals and how the right ergonomic tools—like the X-Stand—can make a difference. The Case for a Single Monitor A single laptop screen is often the default choice for mobile workers. Here’s why some professionals stick to it: ✔ Fewer Distractions: A single screen naturally limits multitasking, helping maintain focus. ✔ Simplified Setup: No extra cables, stands, or connectivity concerns. ✔ Battery-Friendly: Running one screen conserves laptop power, extending battery life. When a Single Monitor Works Best: Quick work sessions in cafés, coworking spaces, or during travel, where carrying extra equipment isn’t convenient. Tasks that don’t require constant reference to multiple documents or applications, such as writing, email management, or browsing Consumes less power than a dual-screen setup and works well in tight spaces like small desks or airplane tray tables. The Benefits of a Dual Monitor Setup (On the Go) A dual monitor setup isn’t just for static office desks. With the right portable gear, it can enhance efficiency for mobile and hybrid professionals: ✔ Increased Productivity: Studies show that a second screen can boost productivity by 42%—ideal for multitasking, research, and cross-referencing.✔ Better Workflow Management: Keep email or communication apps on one screen while focusing on primary tasks on the other.✔ Enhanced Ergonomics: Reduces the need to switch between tabs, helping prevent eye strain and neck discomfort.✔ Seamless Hybrid Work: Whether at home, in a shared office, or traveling, a portable dual-screen setup provides consistency. Best Use Cases for a Portable Dual Monitor Setup: Hybrid workers who move between home and office. Digital professionals (designers, analysts, marketers) who need extra screen space. IT & remote support teams managing multiple dashboards or troubleshooting. How to Build a Portable Dual Monitor Setup For a successful dual-screen mobile office, you need a lightweight, ergonomic stand to support your second screen. The X-Stand is designed for professionals who need a compact, ergonomic, and foldable solution for their laptop + second screen setup. 🔹 Adjustable for the Perfect Viewing Angle – Prevents back and neck strain.🔹 Supports Tablets & Portable Monitors – Ideal for a lightweight (max. weight of 1.5 kg) second screen.🔹 Ultra-Compact & Foldable – Easily fits into any laptop bag. With the X-Stand, you can enjoy the benefits of dual monitors without sacrificing portability. Final Verdict: Is the Upgrade Worth It? If you need better productivity and a seamless hybrid setup, a portable dual-screen solution is a game changer. A lightweight, ergonomic second-screen solution—like the X-Stand—ensures comfort and efficiency anywhere you work. Would you make the switch to dual monitors for mobile work?

Document Holder and Laptop Stand: A Perfect Synergy

Ergonomics has played such an integral role in office culture. So much so that the two are often mentioned in the same breath, with today’s offices emphasizing and putting a premium on the health benefits and productivity that results in proper ergonomics. When looking for the ideal workstation setup, laptop stands often make for the key element in enhancing workplace ergonomics. But what about tasks that require the use of physical documents and reference materials? Oftentimes when these are requirements in our daily work tasks, ergonomics stops being part of the conversation. Why A Document Holder? Referencing or transcribing handwritten documents to a desktop computer or a laptop forces us to uncomfortably hunch over again and again. It repeatedly puts strain on the neck and the back, which in time leads to musculoskeletal disorders. For these sorts of tasks, document holders are the ergonomic solutions to be used. A document holder serves the same purpose as a laptop stand, in which both ergonomic tools raise the work implements (the screen for the laptop stand, and paperwork for the holder). These are used to prevent users from slouching and hunching over for a more comfortable experience. With reference material raised by a document holder, better posture is achieved for both an ergonomic and productive daily work experience. The Perfect Mix When the work task requires referencing and transcribing documents to a laptop, combining the tried and tested solution that is the laptop stand and a document holder becomes the perfect ergonomic arrangement. With both the laptop’s screen and the document raised at eye level, there isn’t a need to tilt the head downwards or turn it sideways. With the reference document within line of sight, all a user needs to do is to shift their eyes towards the document and back to the laptop without having to move the neck. This alleviates the neck pain involved in such repeated movements. The laptop and document holder synergy as part of the daily work routine isn’t just for enhancing workplace ergonomics. The combination also has a positive effect on productivity and efficiency. With the documents and the laptop’s screen at the optimal angles, tasks are streamlined, and the time spent searching for information is greatly reduced. The combined use of a laptop stand and a document holder also results in clutter-free workspace. With a document holder such as the Standivarius Libro B’s small footprint providing for a streamlined desk organization. A work desk that’s well-organised can improve mental performance, productivity, and efficiency. By removing annoying clutter that keeps us from being productive and efficient, our brain can focus more on daily tasks. On-The Go Synergy These two ergonomic workstation solutions are also perfect for the mobile professional. The aforementioned Standivarius Libro B and the other document holders in the Libro series are thin and lightweight. The same goes for all the laptop stands in the Standivarius line such as the Stand-art and the Ergo-Know-Me: thin and lightweight for great portability that fits in a laptop bag without any issues, and an unmatched ease of use factor that doesn’t require any fiddling with knobs or buttons. Our documents stand can also be used for tablets, giving you added adaptability should your reference or resource material is in a tablet. And for the users’ peace of mind when working outside of the office such as in cafes or co-working spaces, all of the Standivarius laptop stands and document holders are made to last and come with a lifetime warranty. Must-Have Solution For The Perfect Workstation When listing down the essentials of what an ideal workstation setup should be, a laptop stand and a document holder should be on that list. The comfort and productivity boost when these two are used separately is immediately noticed, what more when used together for daily tasks? The ergonomic and productivity benefits aren’t the only considerations for utilizing a laptop stand and document holder setup – the two should also be light and thin for on-the-go use. Our laptop stands and document holders do not add much weight and heft inside a laptop bag or a backpack – a plus in terms of comfort.

Ergonomic Mouse and Compact Keyboard: The Wisest Home Office Investments

In today’s hybrid work environment where we can work almost anywhere and everywhere, the home office is still our ideal work setup outside of the traditional office. Most of our time is spent in a home office due to convenience, and often it’s the only place that we can fully customise to our liking. It’s also where we should prioritize investing our hard-earned money, especially on tools that are designed with ergonomics in mind. It’s not just investing in gadgets and devices, but rather investing on a productive and healthier work life. When considering the best ergonomic products for your home office, a compact keyboard and an ergonomic mouse must be at the top of the list due to their long-term benefits. Invest In Your Health Ergonomic solutions, specifically an ergonomic mouse and a compact keyboard, are among the most important home office investments you could make, especially when health and productivity are concerned. Unlike the shape of a traditional mouse, the shape of an ergonomic mouse is designed for a natural hand position. Imagine a hand doing a “handshake” and your palm is comfortably holding a mouse. The mouse’s vertical body shape is specially crafted to deal with the pain associated with long hours of mouse use. Risks of carpal tunnel syndrome are significantly lessened by using an ergonomic mouse in our daily tasks. As for compact keyboards, they are valuable tools not only due to their portability, but also for their ergonomic benefits. Compact and portable keyboards have flatter keys thanks to the scissor-type mechanism like the ones used in laptops, in contrast to traditional keyboards with taller keys. This provides a more comfortable typing experience, reducing the strain on your wrists. These keyboards do away with the number keys, living up to the “compact” moniker. Without the number keys, you can do typing, and even mouse work, with your arms much closer to the centreline of your body. This helps prevent unnecessary stretching which reduces discomfort and lessens the risks of musculoskeletal disorders. Invest In Your Productivity Aside from the health benefits, using an ergonomic mouse can boost productivity as it relieves pain that often comes with using a traditional mouse for long work hours. When there’s fewer wrist pains experienced, you’re able to work on tasks longer and a lot more efficiently. With a compact keyboard’s flat keys, the travel distance when pressing on them is lessened, which means that your fingers don’t have to move far to press each key. This can lead to increased typing speed and efficiency. Typing accuracy is also improved with flatter keys, as there is less room for typing errors caused by accidental key presses. These types of keyboards also reduce the amount of effort required to press the keys, leading to less finger fatigue during extended typing sessions. This can be especially important for those who spend long hours working at their home office. Additional Features Compact keyboards also have the advantage of being extremely portable. Due to the keyboard’s slim frame, these are perfect for those who often go back and forth from their home office to cafes or co-working spaces. The scissor mechanism on compact keyboards also guarantees quieter keystrokes compared to traditional keyboards which can be beneficial in shared workspaces or quiet environments. In this day and age, wireless connectivity is often preferred for a minimalist approach to workspaces and to reduce desk clutter. Most compact keyboards have either a wireless USB dongle or Bluetooth. Some have both wireless connections, enhancing adaptability. The Best Decision You Could Ever Make For Your Home Office Our ergonomic solutions such as the Ave ergonomic mouse, along with our Piano II BT and Solo X compact keyboards all have benefits mentioned, and are all cost-effective long-term solutions compared to potential medical bills and lost productivity due to discomfort and physical health risks. With their inherent advantages for your health and productivity, investing in an ergonomic mouse and a compact is guaranteed to be the best decision you could make for your home office. Explore our line of compact keyboards and ergonomic mouse!
