Not trying to endorse (and make a few bucks out of) products that I have used. But here are really game changers for my life, and work:
-
Reclining keyboard tray (ex-music sheet tray)
-
Glasses Leg Wrappers
Now I need to wear glasses, I also need to find something that can ease the pain on my ears after wearing glasses for too long. I found these leg wrappers for glasses that really work for me, including for sunglasses. I bought a pack of more than 5 pairs or something and put them on quite a bunch of glasses. A friend in need.

Redmi Buds 4 Pro: $10/pair (from Temu.com, I bought 3 pairs)
Color taped to distinguish between different devices: blue for iMac, yellow for Galaxy phone at home, orange for phone out of home.

Kitchen Aid dishwasher
It's not inexpensive, but in hindsight, kudos to my wife for picking the best dishwasher I could trust. I don't mean whether it's truly taking cleaning to the next level. But I do vouch for its low noise when it's working. I remember once staying at a friend's place during a vacation trip and I had to crash in the living room about 10 yards from a dishwasher, and I didn't sleep the whole night due to its loud noise. This one at our home doesn't bother me a bit!

Fotile range hood
This is for health ultra-conscious types. We started with this early in 2024 and now feel much at ease with a lot of cooking smoke or steam getting sucked outside. This brand (Fotile) is a household name among the Chinese population, both in the US and back in China. I cannot recommend it high enough.
