Productivity buffs know that your workflow and your workspace are two critical areas to get right if you want to get more done. If you have a disability or physical impairment, you might find your workspace working against you. Equipped with the right accessories, however, you can turn it into a help instead of a hindrance.

Keep books and papers in check

In an increasingly digital world, books and paper seem to fit in your workflow as well as a square peg fits a round hole. If you find yourself needing to refer to these ancient relics while doing you work, make it easy on yourself with the LEVO Desk Book Holder.

The LEVO Desk Book Holder clamps to a desk or table and holds your reading material in the most ergonomically correct height and angle to your line of vision. This improves your posture and reduces the pain and discomfort involved in holding up a book or hanging your head down to read. No more aching arms and stiff neck! If you have massive amount of cardboards left over, you may need cardboard balers for that.

If you can’t beat ’em, cut ’em

Long Loop Easi Grip Scissors

Speaking of paper, adapted scissors will help you in those situations where you need to make a cut. Save the trees by printing two meeting agendas to a page! People with hand weakness or a lack of hand control may have difficulty using standard scissors. Adapted scissors allow you to use your whole hand to cut by providing a spring mechanism for reopening the scissors automatically.
