Tools and Gadgets We Use At Our Office To Improve Health and Productivity

We used to have a home office long back and now we have our own office space. Having a separate office makes you more productive and creative. Though working from home gives you more freedom, but at some point in time, one should move the own office when their team starts growing.

If you don’t know, along with Geek Dashboard, we are also into Android and web development for our clients. Notification History Log and WP Droid are few of our products we are proud of. Our official Geek Dashboard Android app is built using our own WP Droid plugin.

Managing all these works and client projects are impossible to do from home and we decided to set up our office. Here are the gadgets and tools we use regularly in our office to do our awesome works.

Our Productive Office Environment

Minimal Office Desk

We use plenty of gadgets, electronics, tools and stationary in our office and we’re incomplete without them. In case if you are planning to have your own office, make sure you check this list to get started.

Computers and Laptops

The essential and most important things in any office are computers and laptops. Depending on the style of work, you should opt for either laptops or computers. Since most of our team work remotely, we mostly prefer to have laptops connected to external monitors. We do also have a desktop for backup.

Smartphones and Tablets

We review a lot of smartphones and also use them to test our Android apps. At Geek Dashboard, we write about both Android and iOS tutorials and these smartphones helps us to test the process before wrting the content and for grabbing the screenshots.

Since fragmentation is a major drawback in Android, we need smartphones from different manufacturers to test the apps we develop. Here is the list of smartphones and tablets our writers and developers are currently using at the office.

Accessories

Smartphones and laptops are incomplete with accessories. The worst part of today’s technology is, we need to buy a lot of accessories along with expensive smartphones and laptops.

For instance, the latest MacBooks need different accessories for connecting different devices. Most of the flagship devices these days come without a headphone jack and we need a 3.5mm to Type-C adapter for the same. Apart from this, we also need many optional Accessories to improve productivity.
