DIY facemask<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s a lot of back-and-forth about the effectiveness of facemasks to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The\u00a0ragmask<\/a>\u00a0is one you can make on your own by following the PDF instructions. It looks more comfortable than wrapping a bandana around your face. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Advanced internet security<\/strong>
\nSome folks such as journalists, activists, tech executives, crypto fans, and politicians may need more online security beyond the already strong 2-factor authentication they should be using. Google offers an\u00a0Advance Protection Program<\/a>\u00a0for the legitimately paranoid. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Personal mini-heater<\/strong>
\nI work best if my office room temperature is at least 74 degrees Fahrenheit or more (and I can\u2019t be the only one, read: \u201cWomen want the office to be warmer. Science now backs them up<\/a>\u201d). The days of arguing with my husband over the thermostat are over, because I bought myself this AmazonBasics mini heater<\/a> ($20), and now this perfect-sized, 500-watt heater sits on top of my desk and keeps me warm while I work, and this is my favorite thing right now. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t mute, get a good headset<\/strong>
\nWe are all Zooming, Skyping, Webexing, Google hanging. Nothing will increase the quality of a video conference better than having a good mic pointed at everyone\u2019s mouth. The least expensive way to get a good mic is with a headset. Lightweight ones don\u2019t have to look dorky. It\u2019s what I use. Which headset should you get today? Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress, whose entire 900-person company has worked remotely for a decade, outdid Wirecutter in trying out and testing all USB headsets. He posted his work and recommendations here on his blog post, Don\u2019t Mute<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Get comfortable with uncertainty<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve had this book (Comfortable with Uncertainty by Pema Ch\u00f6dr\u00f6n<\/a>) for years but find myself pulling it off the shelf more in the last month than ever before. You don\u2019t need to be a meditation expert or Buddhist to appreciate the message. Each chapter is a short lesson in self-compassion and awareness, designed to make you comfortable with uncertainty. It is one of those books you can open to any page and find wisdom. There is a Kindle version, but I think it belongs in everyone\u2019s library. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Easy-clean litter box<\/strong>
\nOne of our cats is getting too old to comfortably hop into our Clevercat litter box<\/a>, so I needed to get a litterbox with a low profile so she could easily get in and out of. I ended up buying this one (Pet Mate 42036 Arm & Hammer Large Sifting Litter Pan<\/a>) that has a plastic screen so you can clean the litter without a scoop. It works surprisingly well! \u2013 MF<\/p>\n
