Can as walking desk in my office help me be more productive while working from home with ADHD, plus get more steps in? In today’s vlog we are doing a walking desk office makeover as my new walking pad is delivered, unboxed and tried out. I get an unexpected surprise of something really needed! Then my new sit to stand desk arrives and Daddy Of Four & I empty out my office and create my new sit to stand walking desk setup. Plus we recycle my old desk as a new desk setup in our daughter Zara’s room. Will it all fit and work well? Keep watching to find out.

Smart Plug
If you have read my Smart Home blog post, you will know that I use smart plugs around my home to automate my devices and my home office is no exception.
In my home office I have my desk light, wax melt burner and laptop charger on smart plugs so that I can control them from my phone and on timers.
Drawer Dividers
The ONLY way to organise any drawer in your home, and not just the ones in your home office, is with drawer dividers. Everything will stay for more organised, neat and tidy, plus it’ll be much easier to take things out for using and cleaning. These drawer dividers are the nicest and most reasonably priced ones that I have found.
Pen Pots
Pens can be stored in your desk organisers or displayed in ncos pen pots. I use these from IKEA that look like a sort of lace effect. I think they are supposed to be tea light candle holders really, but they make nice pen pots and makeup brush holders too.
The shelf that my pen posts sit on it actually an IKEA spice rack painted with the same paint as the wall.
Kallax
I use kallax shelving from IKEA all over my house as it is such an efficient and versatile storage solution. It comes in sizes from 1 x 1 cube up to 5 x 5 cubes. There are lots of options for slotting into the cubes, I find the drone boxes are a cheap way of maximising the space.
As you’ll see in my home office organisation series, I like to section, divide and organise the contents of my drone boxes within my kallax units with clear bags. This is a brilliant way to keep things such as wires, equipment and more, sorted and way to find.
Clipboards
I like to use clipboards to organise projects that I am currently working on. This keeps every bit of information that I need to complete a task in one place and easily managed. Once the project is complete, the documents are filed in a lever arched folder and the new project moves onto the clipboard.
Command Hooks For Clipboard
I use these easy to stick up, damage free command hooks to hand my clipboards above my desk in view.
Magnetic Whiteboard
Magnetic whiteboards are handy for jotting notes and sticking up important papers too.

Headphones
Working from home can often be a noisy affair if your family are home. Noise cancelling headphones can help you to block out the noise and concentrate.
Command Hooks For Headphones
I keep my headphones out of the way on a large command hook.
Command Strips
Use command strips to stick anything you need to put up such as pictures or frames combining printables.
Paper Tray
We all need somewhere to dump incoming mail and other documents before we have time to sort them. A paper tray like this one will keep your pending papers in order.
Bin
Shredder
Keep your identity safe by shredding used documents before you dispose of them.
Label Maker
I LOVE labelling things after they are organised. I have this label maker and it’s super easy to use.

Wax Burner
Not an office essential perhaps, but I love my office to smell nice as I work, so I use this electric wax burner. I have it on an smart plug so that I can control it with timers and my phone.
Tissue Box
Tissues look so much nicer when decanted into a pretty tissue box.
Cocktail Sofa
Not necessarily essential if you have a desk and desk chair but it can be nice to have another sofa or chair for if a family member joins you in your office, or even to sit n for a change of scenery.
I have one of these little cocktail sofas from Homebase. They are attractive, slim for small spaces and a bargain price. I paid just £120 for a 2 seater.
