It wasn’t until early 2023 that it occurred to me to get a desk lamp for my office. Up until then, whenever I got on a Zoom call, I was at the mercy of the weather … and the amount of light that happened to be streaming into the bedroom that day.
(Our bedroom window faces east – great for morning Zoom sessions! But not so much the rest of the day … or when it’s overcast.)
Thanks to a business mentor who I’d started working with a few months earlier, I learned that having a desk lamp – to help compensate for this problem – was a piece of office equipment I needed. (THANK YOU, Belinda Sandor!)
Now, whenever I get on a call that’s either mid- or late afternoon, I put the lamp on a side table on the other side of the room, positioning it to provide an indirect source of light … without glare.
This is one piece of office equipment I DEFINITELY would have a hard time living without!
