If you want to work in a healthy and environmentally friendly way, you need the right equipment. I have tested 6 of them, which really improve the work noticeably.

5 perfect tools for healthy & ecological work: desks, solar bags, displays {Trend!-Products}

1. Desk

“Sitting kills” – already knew that LinkedIn founder Konstantin Guericke and therefore misplaced his Meetings on the trail to stay fit and healthy.

Flexispot - the alternative to sport during working hours

Unfortunately, not everyone is the CEO of a company and can just go hiking during working hours. This is where the products from FlexiSpot come in, which include different types of desks and standing aids – in addition to height-adjustable desks, on which you can occasionally work while standing, e.g. also table attachments, stools or table bicycles, on which you can combine sport and work at the same time.

I signed up for my test for that electrically height-adjustable model EW8-BB with bamboo table top decided and has to realize that there are some things you don't even know you need until you have them. Because it's really fantastic to be able to switch easily and spontaneously between standing and sitting during work, for example if your back hurts. The robust motor allows for a smooth and easy transition from 72 to 121 cm, which is even suitable for children's height. With 4 programmable height presets, the desk is perfect for multiple users who want to save their preferred height setting in a family or work environment.

Connectivity, design and construction

3 convenient USB charging ports (2 x USB Type-A, 1 x Type-C) are embedded in the desk and ensure wide compatibility with electronic devices. This saves you the clutter and hassle of tangled cords under your desk and keeps your devices powered all day long. A convenient drawer integrated into the tabletop provides seamlessly integrated storage for your home office essentials. A small drop of bitterness from an ecological point of view for me is that the desk runs in stand-by mode almost all day and cannot be switched off. For this purpose I now use a switchable socket.

a little Anxiety I had before the delivery and assembly of the package, which weighed at least 40 kg and came in two parts. FlexiSpot was kind enough to arrange for delivery right up to the front door. The construction was also very easy, you only had to screw the base together and insert it into the table top before you turned the whole thing around - and that's it. That is clear easier than with other furniture manufacturers and so soon nothing can stand in the way of productive work.

To mitigate the energy consumption a bit, solar panels and solar bags could be of great help - I thought, and tested two of them.

Two solar bags with different performance levels

The Anker PowerSolar 24W 3-Port USB Solar Charger has monocrystalline solar cells with 12W Performance, which can be delivered to multiple devices simultaneously via three USB-A ports. It measures 70,5x34x0,35 cm when unfolded and weighs 1221 grams. The integrated stand also positions your charger ideally under the sun.

The SUNBOOSTER 28 by Sunnybag has 28 watts of power with 4 solar cells of 7 watts each with 2 USB outputs (up to 2 amps at 5 volts) and weighs only 64 grams with a size of 31x0,2x850 cm. It is also light collapsible. In addition, I got a Sunnybag Powerbank 10.000mAh, which is actually designed for charging with the solar module and therefore charges much faster than other batteries. This is made possible, among other things, by optimized power management (OPFTechnology), which enables simultaneous charging and discharging.

Solar bag for everyone: possible uses on the go and at home

Set up at the right angle in full sunlight, both solar bags deliver quite well Energy, to charge a power bank or cell phone in a few hours. This is a real advantage, for example, on hikes, where you can attach the mobile charging bags to your backpack using the eyelets that are available.

Slightly less fast is it possible if parts of the solar bags are in shade or if there are clouds in the sky instead of sun - then it can sometimes take several days for a battery to be recharged. They are also not suitable for quick recharging on the go. Nevertheless, both devices are also suitable for rented apartments without a balcony, as you can quickly set them up or hang them on the window and even carry them back and forth. This means that everyone really has the opportunity to generate and use solar power.

3. Water: Drink yourself healthy

Gegen Stress and for more Health there is a simple remedy: drink water. But many find the taste of water bland. waterdrop® offers a remedy with its microdrinks.

Like an energy drink without sugar

I recently received a starter set of the new waterdrop® product Microlyte Sport and was thrilled. Originally, the waterdrop® microdrinks are small, compact cubes that transform simple water with botanical extracts and vitamins into a tasty drink in no time at all.

The new Microlyte Sport product line now combines this variety of flavors with electrolytes and thus ensures additional healthy enjoyment. Above all, she wants active, working people People Appeal and offer them a kind of energy drink without sugar. Because water, consumed in sufficient quantities, has a proven positive effect on the entire body.

The ecological alternative to spritzer, cola and co

waterdrop® sees itself as ecological Alternatives to conventional bottled and often sugared drinks. The microdrinks are vegan, gluten-, lactose- and sugar-free and come completely without
preservatives and artificial flavors.

The ingredients range from acai from Brazil to Asian ginseng and moringa from India to African baobab and they are also available as a hot drink, so-called microteas. They are said to have a partly calming, partly invigorating effect on the body and thus promote healthy, sugar-free drinking. A great idea that also saves a lot of waste.

Connection to eCommerce solutions

However, what finally convinced me to join Lexoffice decide, was the Idea, on Best of HR - Berufebilder.de® one Online-Integrate shop with Woocommerce. The billing had always been too cumbersome for me before.

And there is a fantastic plugin for the connection between Lexoffice and Woocommerce: With the German Market extension, accounting in the online shop is also child's play: PDF invoices as well as return slips and cancellations can be created, and, very conveniently, with With just one click, these invoices can then be imported into Lexoffice.

5. Folding displays

Folding displays are one Innovation, which I've been waiting for for a long time: To me they look like a kind of Mary Poppins bag, there in Future A mobile device will suffice to accrue on the go Tasks to do. An old efficiency dream of mine is coming true.

Folding displays - a new way of working?

As technology continues to evolve and the way we interact with the digital Welt interact, change, the devices are becoming more and more versatile. One of the latest trends in this space is foldable displays. This technology allows us to have a device that can be folded in half to a more compact size and then unfolded again when needed. Foldable displays offer a whole host of benefits, from improved portability to more efficient use of space. Foldable displays bring a whole range of new ways to interact with our laptops, smartphones and tablets.

So far, however, there are only a few of these devices on the market. I was all the happier to be able to test three of the coveted devices that act like one Combination of tablets and distressebook or use a smartphone.

ASUS Zenbook vs Lenovo ThinkPad

The ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED has a 17,3″ foldable touchscreen that folds down to a compact 12,5″. The 2,5K NanoEdge Dolby Vision display has very thin bezels and not only offers PANTONE® validation, but also low and eye-friendly Low Blue Light emissions certified by TÜV Rheinland. It is also equipped with a 12th generation Intel® Core™ processor, Harman Kardon certified Dolby Atmos® Quad speakers, a detachable ASUS ErgoSense Bluetooth® keyboard and a precise ErgoSense touchpad, a 5MP AI webcam, an HD -IR camera for fast face recognition and a color sensor for automatic control of brightness and color temperature.

The seamlessly foldable OLED screen of the slightly smaller ThinkPad X1 Fold (16″ Intel) can also be easily opened into a 33,8 cm (13,3″) 2K display. It can also be used like a tablet, with a built-in kickstand to hold it up. In addition, the latest technology is used, such as an extremely energy-efficient 5th generation Intel® Core™ i11 processor with Intel® Hybrid Technology, fast LPDDR4X memory and an NVMe SSD. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 guarantee good wireless connections. Gain additional ports with a USB-C docking solution (sold separately).

A folding cell phone as an efficiency machine

However, both laptops could only inspire me to a limited extent, as they were a little too big and too heavy for mobile use. For me, a foldable display has its real justification, especially in a mobile phone. You can use the Galaxy Z Fold 4 like a normal smartphone, because it has a 6,2-inch display on the outside. Unfolded, however, you have a 7,6-inch screen with 2176 × 1812 pixels.

This combination is unbeatable for me and makes the cell phone a true all-rounder. Sufficient computing power is available thanks to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU. There are three cameras for photos: one with 50 megapixels, a 10 megapixel telephoto camera with triple optical zoom and an ultra wide-angle camera with 12 megapixels and a 123-degree viewing angle. In addition, an aluminum housing ensures the necessary robustness, according to the IPX8 standard, the device is even waterproof. A thoroughly successful device that should make daily work a lot better, more efficient and more pleasant.
