Ok, now I’m talking directly to all the work-at-home parents out there. You need this Pick!

These headsets are absolutely essential when you’re running a business, running a household and running around. We have a home office and cannot function without this piece of equipment.

The first reason you need to invest in one is to protect your neck. When we work at home, all of the interaction we have with the outside world is by computer or phone, and if they’re not set up properly, you’re going to have trouble with your back and neck, guaranteed.

Next, you need a really good connection for phone conversations. Our writer has a desk phone with a speaker, and when she puts me on speakerphone to take notes, I can hear echoes and static. This product solves that problem and makes the sound much more clear.

Third, you need the freedom. What if you’re on the phone and have to stop the dog from dashing out the door after your son? Don’t tell anyone, but some times I even take my conference calls outside. Because this thing travels so well, I get my 20 minutes a day of sunshine even when I’m working. I promise you – I wouldn’t give my headset up for anything.

Plantronics Digital Wireless Office Headset is available online at Amazon.com
