Stop Losing Focus: Desk Tech That Actually Works 💡
Some of y'all are allowing your tech to CONTROL YOUR FOCUS!
Well, no more!
I've simplified and 'hacked' my desk setup to ENHANCE my focus, allowing only tools that aid in my concentration to live on my desk... YEP that includes my phone! But I have a hack for it! Keep reading to find out more!
My first tip for focus is choosing silent tech, such as a silent keyboard (silent switches) and a silent mouse. Most (if not all) of Logitech's mice are silent which is great for those who can't stand non-rhythmic noises that typing and clicking makes. Consider modding your current keyboard and adding silent switches (tactile switches are often quite silent) and see how that goes!
Next, I ALWAYS work with my noise cancelling headphones on. Firstly, they're more comfortable than earbuds (to me) so I opt for them because they cover my entire ear. If you work in an office or at home, or in public, it can be really easy to get distracted by a number of things. Cups and general chatter in cafes, doors closing or dogs barking at home, or clicking and typing at work. If either of these distract you, you should definitely try noise cancelling headphones ASAP!
Next, I HIGHLY recommend this hack, infact this is my best tip espeically for those of you who are kinda additcted to your phone (like me!) Invest in a charging stand for your phone. Sometimes I find myself grabbing my phone when it lights up next to me out of pure habit, but to help kick that habit, I got a desk stand for my phone, meaning it can blend into my desk as a functional piece of tech. When you use a charging stand to charge your phone landscape, it becomes a clock (as seen in the picture above), this is a great hack too because this silences notifications, instead of flashing up on your phone! Not only that, but whilst on the charging stand, it's CHARGING! Which is great because you can always have a charged device no matter what time of day! It's simple, but effective!
Finally, my most spoken about trick is a light bar (also known as a monitor screen bar) which can help reduce eye strain and fatigue. Light bars are great for creating soft light around your monitor so that as you work throughout the day, your eyes can slowly adjust to the light fluctuations, keeping you focused!
Most light bars can adapt to the light around you, adjusting automatically so you never even know and you can remain in that constant flow state! Cool right?

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining focus while working is essential for productivity. The right desk tech can make all the difference in creating a distraction-free workspace. Using a silent keyboard and mouse is a game changer for many. Logitech offers a range of silent tech products that reduce noise and allow for smoother operation without the distraction of clicking sounds. This can help individuals remain in their flow state, especially in shared workspaces or coffee shops. Noise-canceling headphones are another integral tool for reducing background noise, whether it's bustling café chatter or office distractions. They provide an immersive environment that promotes concentration. Brands like Soundcore offer effective options that are both comfortable and efficient, ensuring you stay focused for long periods. A charging stand for your phone is a clever hack to minimize distractions. By vertically charging the phone, it becomes a functional piece of decor and a clock, reducing the temptation to check notifications frequently. Lastly, a light bar or screen bar can transform your desk setup by adapting to ambient light, thus reducing eye strain and improving overall comfort during extended work hours. Many modern light bars can adjust their brightness and color temperature, aligning with your environment and keeping your focus sharp throughout the day. Implementing these tech solutions can significantly enhance your workspace and productivity.
I totally agree on silent tech, I have the same Logitech mouse and it is so quiet I love it! But my keyboard is a bit loud 😅 What switches do you use for your keyboard ? I currently have the EPOMAKER x Aula F99 with the Reaper Switches and although I love the sound it can be a bit distracting. I have been wanting to change the switches but I’m not sure which to get, do you have any recommendations ?
