A Top Invention Design to Help You Track Time
If you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed a more handy and innovative way to track your time and productivity to stay focused, the TimeFlip Interactive Time Tracking Device is a top invention that can help you with just that!
This unique invention serves as a time tracker that features a cool design with twelve sides giving you the option to assign a wide variety of tasks to it. The invention comes with some stickers so you can further customize it to your specific needs, and an embedded green LED light provides visual cues of your times’ statuses.
If you need to split your working hours into intervals to get a lot of small things done in shorter periods of time to make progress on bigger projects, you can use its Pomodoro timer for maximum efficiency!
The Top Invention Design for Working at Home
Working at home is an amazing benefit that a lot of great companies, such as MAKO, offer their employees to help give them more flexibility with their working environment and conditions. If you find yourself in a situation where you know you’ll be working remotely from home, having a designated and properly set up workplace is key to staying productive and getting all your tasks done on time.
The Altwork Desk is a fantastic invention with a unique design that includes an all-in-one area within your household dedicated to achieving maximum productivity while working at home! The Station possesses the ability to transform into a horizontal desk or a stand-up desk giving you the proper support for your electronics, supplies, posture, and comfortability!
Prioritize Your Comfortability to Minimize Procrastination
Let’s face it, in our modern-day age, it’s inescapable to use a computer or laptop to get our work done. Even if we are using our electronics for leisure and surfing the web, we rely a lot on our computers to help us get through the day and stay on top of our daily tasks.
With so much usage of our computers, we fail to realize we put a lot of strain on our bodies and the risk of bad posture and uncomfortable strains is that it can slow us down and stop us from continuing our work. Prioritizing your health should be of the utmost importance, especially when focusing on productivity.
Luckily, there’s The Mouzen – a portable armrest made to maximize your comfort while browsing the web! The platform fits easily on any table and gives your forearm enough room to rest comfortably and move around to switch from keyboard to mouse. Not only does the Mouzen help reduce the strain caused by the lack of proper arm support, but it can help prevent injuries and boost your productivity.
Top Invention Design for Your Laptop
Being productive at home is a surefire way to make working at home easier! However, with working at home, it’s best to have a proper workstation so that you can get your work done as productively and efficiently as possible. Having the proper setup for yourself and your equipment is vital to getting your daily tasks done without straining your posture and ending up with a cluttered mess around you.
If you happen to work with a laptop to get your work done, making sure that it’s at an appropriate angle is the best way to see everything you need on-screen without straining your neck and back and to be in the right position to work as efficiently as possible.
The MOFT Z was designed as an attachment for the back of your laptop. It’s as thin as a credit card and acts as a folding stand that helps prop up and angle your laptop into different positions that best suit your working needs. The MOFT Z is a top invention design that offers a great ergonomic setup that can transition to your best-suited working positions, offering efficiency, convenience, and a great way to upgrade your at-home workstation.
