When it comes to sorting out your computer set up you need to ensure you have everything you need in order to use it properly. Whilst it may take time to have the full budget needed to buy everything you want, when you finally have your full set up complete you will find using your computer much easier.
Whether it’s finding somewhere comfortable to sit or ensuring you have a place to organise your thoughts, finishing your set up should be your main priority. With that in mind, here are 5 things you need to complete your computer set up:
5 Things You Need To Complete Your Computer Set Up
A Strong And Sturdy Computer Desk
One of the most important things you need for your computer set up is a strong and sturdy desk. If you’re going to sitting at this desk every single day for the foreseeable future, you need to be sure it is something that is going to last. With a variety of different styles and materials available, you may want to take some time looking into which one is going to be the best option for you.

A Planner Or Organiser
If using your computer set up for work, it‘s important to have a planner/organiser to organise your thoughts. Although you can take notes on your computer, the act of writing them down makes them much easier to remember.
A Printer And Printer Ink
Again, if you’re using your computer for work then you may want to consider investing in a high-quality printer. Whether you’re printing off project briefs or invoices for your tax return, ensuring you can do this is important.
A Comfy Desk Chair
Now that you have a comfy desk, you need to ensure you have a comfy place to sit. It‘ll allow you to work in the same place all day, improve your posture, and reduce the chances of back pain. Finding the right chair takes time. Once you find it all of your hard work will be worth it.
Lots of Handy Storage Space
Finally, you need to ensure your computer set up has lots of handy storage space. There is nothing worse than an untidy desk. If you want to ensure you’re always free from distractions, having a place for everything is vital. For storage ideas, you can check out sites like Pinterest and Instagram.
I work at a computer all day and without a comfortable chair my life would be miserable. I’ve also made the move over to a stand up desk as of late that allows me to work upright every now and then to help stretch out. I also like the manual note pad and organizer. I still have notebooks on my desk for taking notes during calls. I’m old school and old. 🙂
I love notepads! Although I do most of my writing at my desk on the computer there is just something about writing your thoughts longhand that makes it seem more genuine. These are great tips for an office set up. I’m going to be doing more work at the computer now and was thinking that my office needed a bit of an upgrade, so this article came at a great time! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the reminder that I need to get organized! Although I have most of the items on your list the room is in need of some serious organization.
I love having a clean and organized office. I’m so much more productive when I have a good space to work in. I am in the market of updating my desk so I’ll have to check out your suggestions.
I totally agree with this list! I’ve got it all, and it is absolutely essential to working productively. I can’t stand an untidy desk. Organization equals productivity, and if I find myself in a writing slump, I start cleaning. Clears not only my desk, but my mind as well.
This list contains all the basic essentials for a functional,comfortable office/space. The only thing on your list that’s missing from my dedicated office area, is a printer. I’ve no need for one lately, as all my work is emailed to clients or written on their platforms. I also bookmark or ‘Pocket’ all the important info I need, so there’s no need to make print outs. But, I’ll certainly add back a printer if things change.
So many of these are really important so that we can be more productive. Thanks for all of the suggestions!
I couldn’t agree more: it’s not only computer it’s the whole working place needs to be set up properly for any person!
I cant stress much what a difference a nice desk chair makes while using desktops! I always get a neck or sometimes back ache while working on desk. You really need to find a comfy desk chair! 🙂
A comfortable chair is really important as it supports our back especially for long hours of computer works. I have a very comfy computer chair at home and it is such a blessing.
I would be lost without my planner! I really need to reorganize and set up a desk area. I usually use the kitchen table or the sofa and a little TV stand–definitely not good for my back.
