2. Or, repurpose a mobile kitchen island as a standing desk.
Try IKEA's Bekvam for $59.99. An ironing board will also work.

Under "preferences," select "video," and then check the box that says "touch up my appearance."
6. If you're missing your office monitor, try screen mirroring on your TV.
Or, you could use your phone to pull up something else so you have two screens going. (If you don't have a Samsung, there are other options/apps for mirroring available.)
7. Having trouble concentrating in silence? Try this "white noise."
This fun simulator creates office-like "white noise" — barely audible conversations, copy machines, etc.
