My home office is hands-down the most stressful room in my house. Typically, I’m working under a tight deadline in there, which is never pleasant. Is there any worse feeling in the world than watching the clock slowly tick down while you sit stuck without any project ideas? Believe me, it’ll make your hair fall out. As if that wasn’t stressful enough, I have to go and compound the problem by keeping a million gadgets in there to distract me. Who can get any work done with an iPod Touch, a digital camera, a digital picture frame, and a graphics tablet just sitting there, waiting to be played with? It’s like trying to get some work done at Epcot Center.
Now, obviously, I have my reasons for packing the study with electronic toys. They have to go in there because they all need to be charged via USB port. My laptop only has two USB ports, so trying to keep tabs on which device was charged and when they needed to be switched out eventually became an exercise in madness. Before long, I found myself yelling at the dog and collecting my own toenails. On the advice of my therapist, I decided to make my workspace a little more comfortable. So I bought scented candles and downloaded some John Mayer, and I guess that helped. But I found the real difference maker online.
The 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Clock & Color-Changing Mood Light solved all my problems at once. I’ve always been a very visually-oriented person—it’s why I’m a graphic designer. I found that the soft lighting given off by this handy toy improves my mood better than a barrel full of smelly candles or wimp-rock MP3s. The morphing of the light from purple to blue to green to red and back again always keeps me in the right frame of mind to work. Thanks to the bright LED clock, I’ll never be late on a deadline again! And my USB problem has vanished thanks to the mood clock’s four USB ports. Now I can leave everything plugged in at the same time, with no clutter!
I also managed to keep my stress level low by paying only pennies on the dollar for this little honey. $9.99 is quite the bargain when it comes to maintaining one’s sanity.
