5 Desk Must-Haves
1. Charging station. A handy place to juice up all your electronic essentials--phone, PDA, iPod, digital camera, etc.--while saying goodbye to unsightly cords. Plus, some charging stations have drawers for change and other loose valuables.
2. Padded wrist rest. To help keep those wrists straight and neutral and healthy.
3. Calculator. It may be old school, but we crunch numbers far faster with it than when we use the calculator feature on our computers.
4. Supplies organizer. For pens, pencils, paper clips and the like.
5. Scrap paper. Whether you prefer Post-It notes, personalized notepads or the backs of old printed documents, it helps to have paper around to jot down stuff--a phone number, a new idea or a doodle during an extended conference call.
