\"Mech<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our day-to-day lives have changed radically in the past year. Commutes to the office are practically a thing of the past as many work from home, or try to at least. The line between work and home has been blurred, and it can be difficult to find inspiration when everyday feels like Groundhog Day. That\u2019s where Spreadshop comes in – to provide you with merch for every part of your daily routine!<\/p>\n

You should be surrounded by things you love to help get you through the day; whether that\u2019s a water bottle with a funny video game reference, or a sticker on a notebook that makes jotting down meeting notes less of a struggle. Follow along to see how your day can be made better (and more creative) thanks to Spreadshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
Rise and Shine<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

6:30 A.M. – Rise and Shine!<\/h2>\n

Unless you’re a morning person (I\u2019m not), you dread that early wake up call. You pry yourself out from under the covers and go to the kitchen to brew a fresh cup of coffee to bring you back from the dead. But don\u2019t go for some boring, basic mug when pouring your caffeinated beverage – pick something that\u2019s going to inspire you to kick butt throughout the work day!<\/p>\n

You want inspiration? Well, put it out there with a mug that just says it, like \u201cDon\u2019t quit.\u201d Ryan Puusaari\u2019s<\/a> shop is all about breaking the stigma of mental illness. His motto is that people shouldn\u2019t feel weak because of their mental illness, they should feel like warriors because they are here and still fighting. And with every ounce of caffeine you consume, you\u2019re bound to feel more powerful and recharged.<\/p>\n

But if motivational quotes aren\u2019t your thing, have something you\u2019re passionate about when you\u2019re off the clock sitting at your desk. If you love being on Twitch and interacting with your favorite streamers, say it loud and proud with a colorful and fun mug, like this one from StephenKil<\/a>. It will give you motivation to get through the day so you can hop on Twitch at the end of it.<\/p>\n

Same goes for whatever else you\u2019re into. Remind yourself why you get up in the morning, and what you do in your free time that inspires you while working from home.<\/p>\n

\n
Time to Get to Work<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

8:00 A.M. – Time to Get to Work<\/h2>\n

Everyone has their own work from home setup, whether it\u2019s a makeshift one at the kitchen table, or a designated room with a suitable desk and chair if you\u2019re one of the lucky ones. No matter the setup, you still have the same thing: a computer. If it\u2019s your own, you have more leeway with personalization – I wouldn\u2019t recommend slapping stickers on a company laptop.<\/p>\n

People you work with won\u2019t see these items, but they can be fun little things to glance at when you get tired of staring at a screen.<\/p>\n

Put a reminder of something you\u2019ve been working towards. Planning to take on the outdoors and explore parks and trails? Slap a sticker that reminds you of the hiking challenge you\u2019ve spent months preparing for, like this one from Outside Chronicles<\/a> does.<\/p>\n

Spreadshop even has you covered with computer accessories.<\/p>\n

Not every shop might choose to carry them, but mouse pads are a fun way to make your at-home office feel more like you. You can go big and bold depending on the design, or favor something clean and simplistic. First Chapter Fun<\/a> – an online book that reads the first chapter of a new book every week –\u00a0 has you covered if you prefer the latter in your workspace.<\/p>\n

\n
Interact With Humans<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

11 A.M. – Interact With Humans<\/h2>\n

For what is likely to be your first face-to-face human interaction of the day if you live alone, video meetings are a great way to not only catch up with colleagues, but fill them with envy over the merch you\u2019re wearing.<\/p>\n

Wear a shirt that you design. It\u2019s quick and easy to make your own Spreadshop and upload your designs to a variety of shirts and products. Watch our 10-minute how-to video<\/a> for everything you need to know about making and selling your own custom merchandise.<\/p>\n

Your coworkers might be like, \u201cHey, where\u2019d you get that shirt?\u201d And you can simply tell them, \u201cIt\u2019s from my Spreadshop.\u201d It’s free advertisement for you, especially if you\u2019re on video meetings alot and interact with new people on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to make your own merch, there are plenty of shops selling different kinds of shirts that are great to wear to virtual meetings.<\/p>\n

A lot of bands and recording artists use Spreadshop<\/a> as their official merchandise site.<\/p>\n

Snuggle up in a hoodie with the logo of your favorite band on it. This one from The Low Kings<\/a> – Pittsburgh\u2019s premier Celtic rock band – allows you to show some love for a local and particular niche kind of music in a variety of colors.<\/p>\n

If you want to get to the heart of your coworkers and make them laugh, find things that speak to their sense of humor. People love to use Spreadshop as a way to put inside jokes or funny references on merch.<\/p>\n

If you work at a law firm, you can\u2019t get any better than this t-shirt that has Leroy Brown<\/a> – America\u2019s favorite dog attorney – on it. I nearly lost it when I saw it the first time.<\/p>\n

If you can think of it, there\u2019s likely already a Spreadshop for it – or one that you can make – that has your next video call outfit ready to wear.<\/p>\n

\n
Take a Walk<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1 P.M. – Take a Walk<\/h2>\n

After getting some lunch, it might be good to go outside to stretch your legs and clear your head.<\/p>\n

Researchers have found that just 30 minutes spent outdoors can result in a 45% increase in productivity. Any sort of environment will work. Walk around your neighborhood, drive down to the park. Just make sure to bring a water bottle to keep hydrated.<\/p>\n

Our stainless steel water bottles are insulated and guaranteed to keep your drink cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. They feature sleek designs, like this one from Aspire<\/a>. This shop also supports a good cause by raising funds and awareness to PANS, PANDAS, and immune-related encephalopathies.<\/p>\n

If you have a furry friend that you want to take with you, make sure they\u2019re decked to the nines in merch, too.<\/p>\n

Dog bandanas are a fun accessory – if you can manage to get it on them. Dress your dog to match you if sellers are selling designs on both items. I found this bandana from Schnauzers 4 Life<\/a> that\u2019s perfect if you have a little Schnauzer in your life.<\/p>\n

\n
Dinner Time<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

6 P.M. – Dinner Time<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a procrastinator, you\u2019ll have to run to the grocery store at the last minute. Avoid using plastic or paper bags by bringing a reusable tote with you.<\/p>\n

Hey Jessica<\/a> sells bright, graphic merch that is sure to make a statement in whatever aisle you\u2019re in. Coordinate the colors with other merch you have (t-shirt, hoodie, mask) for a cohesive look.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t think we don\u2019t have merch for the dinner table, too. When you\u2019re moving around the kitchen, working with all kinds of ingredients – accidents are bound to happen. Avoid spills on other merch you’re wearing with the help of a decked out apron.<\/p>\n

The designs on them don\u2019t have to be food exclusive, even though there\u2019s plenty of food themed Spreadshops out there. It can be something as random as cryptocurrency on an apron from a shop like FEG<\/a>. Their whole thing is showing love for the FEG (Feed Every Gorilla) token.<\/p>\n

Again, you can get as specific as possible with your merch, on whatever items you want.<\/p>\n

\n
Unwind<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

9 P.M. – Unwind<\/h2>\n

After sitting in front of a computer all day working from home, it’s time to relax and recharge.<\/p>\n

Like I said before, whatever your interest – there\u2019s merch for it.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re reading a book that was recommended by First Chapter Fun – the same shop featured on the mouse pad mentioned before – why not cuddle up with a themed throw pillow<\/a>? It\u2019s a great photo-op for Instagram and you can tag them to let your followers know.<\/p>\n

If you like to unwind with videogames, accessorize in style by repping your favorite Twitch personality. Streamer Hey Zaga<\/a> has a wide range of phone cases and throw pillows for sale that are ideal for lounging and gaming. There\u2019s no way you can\u2019t find a design you like.<\/p>\n

I hope Spreadshop can make your work from home day more personal (and even more productive).<\/p>\n
