Got to be my stress ball and a good cuppa coffee
so many times the stress ball has aided me from not being escorted into a large police holding :)

A nice pear off speakers is also essential for a real web-worker. I have these.

I can’t live without snacks near my desk. Gotta have them. I like candy, beef jerky, nuts, water, and chips. Do snacks count?

I would have say my office chair is my comfort zone. Since I’m sitting most of the day, I hand picked the perfect throne out of many. Even when I’m under a lot of pressure, I’ll jump right into my cozy chair.

LUV the exercise ball idea! Fantastic!
I work alone frequently, so a pet fish is a nice distraction. Plus, you can go all out with one of those fancy mini-aquariums that will also support live plants – and Va Voom – instant nature indoors :-)

1) How is an exercise ball comfortable? Don’t you need some back support?

2) I’m not touching the skirt comment, although the mental image of a person trying to balance on an exercise ball in a skirt if funny.

@Kelly: Groove Salad is awesome for staying focused.

With regards to the exercise ball chair situation, I discovered the Swopper chair. A quick online search will help you find retailer, but brace yourself for the sticker shock. From my experience, it provides the “ab fab” factor, but in a more adjustable fashion. Lately I’ve been switching between it and a regular office chair depending on the type of work I’m doing. A side effect is having everyone stop by my office to bounce on the “mushroom chair”. Take a look at one and you’ll see why it’s received that nickname.

I can’t do without my dual LCD displays. They are not too large (19″ model). I started in my home office and begged the boss to let me have the same setup in the office. He was reluctant at first but later caved. Now 7 of my coworkers have the same setup and can’t imagine life with a single display. Next on my list is an espresso machine connected to my office chair.

I agree with the headset to be plugged into iTunes – it’s a must. But instead of the big stereo headset, I like earbuds so I can pull one out of my ear and keep the other in, just in case I need to halfway listen to someone speaking to me, or just eavesdrop.

The exercise ball for a chair – I did that in my very first job in 2000 but once those hours started getting longggggg, I couldn’t do it anymore. It’s such a brilliant idea though, and fab for the abs. Ab fab, if you will.

My other accessories? Ergonomically friendly mousepad and wristrest when at my desktop, a laptop cooling pad that hooks into my USB port so my dual-processor laptop doesn’t implode or give my legs second-degree burns, and last but most certainly not least, my Franklin Covey Planner which serves as an excellent and necessary supplement to my beloved beloved color-coded Outlook calendar.

Great topic!
