5 effective products for a portable workstation

Today’s economy increasingly prioritizes people who’re adaptable in terms of where and how they do their jobs. In just the last few years, many businesses have shifted to a remote-work model requiring that employees work from home or other non-office locations. Said model, furthermore, often has workers respond flexibly to unexpected tasks as new needs arise. It follows, then, that the ability to work in various settings and circumstances is highly rewarded at present.

A great step to becoming one of these flexible workers is to have access to a portable workstation. For those interested in making their own, here are some products that would help form such a workstation:

This TechOrbits desk is highly versatile in nature. By adjusting the knobs on its sides, the desk’s height can be raised or lowered as is most suitable. In addition, lockable caster wheels enable the desk to be rolled from one location to another. The desk’s configuration allows it to function not only as a computer stand, but also as a podium, projector stand, and more.
The Get Stuff Done Productivity Planner is a wonderful tool for the worker on-the-go. This 13-week planner will doubtlessly help the user plan out, track, and achieve goals. Furthermore, it can be used as a calendar, personal organizer, or motivational journal. Best of all, as it only measures 8.3 by 5.5 inches, the planner is portable enough to be taken to a variety of locales.
Wundermax’s Padfolio Portfolio Binder is a great purchase for document organization. Made of vegan leather padfolio, it includes a letter-sized legal notepad, a 3 ring binder, 3 pen holders, and even pockets for a tablet computer. The binder’s retractable handle also makes it easy to take to wherever work needs to be done.
Some notebooks are cumbersome, but that isn’t the case with PaperCode’s two-pack of lined journal notebooks. Each is made with an elastic closure strap, an inner pocket folder, two ribbon bookmarks, and 130 easy-tear college-ruled pages. Plus, given that they are 8.25″ by 5.65″ apiece, they can be carried around without difficulty, making them ideal as work journals.
Wundermax’s Door Stopper 6-Pack is useful for preserving and moving workstations. Placing a doorstop on the inside of an adjacent door will prevent unwanted intrusions into a workspace’s location. On the other hand, as the doorstop can also be used to hold heavy doors open without worry, it also allows for equipment to be easily moved to new settings.

As the world continues to change, it’s likely that remote, flexible work will become more prevalent. That being the case, people will need to become more proficient at remote work in order to maintain their livelihoods. While some aspects of this reskilling may be daunting, though, making a portable workstation will be a breeze thanks to the above products. With them at hand, a worker will have the tools they need to work from almost anywhere, and so be prepared for the tasks ahead. Rather than worry, they can rest assured that they will be ready to take on new changes in the workplace.
