"Dog days" and 30 degrees: Before you melt in the office – this simple 15cm trick saves your focus
Updated on August 20, 2025
You know that feeling? The sun beats down on the windowpane, the air in the room is stagnant, and every thought feels like it's floating through syrup. Your fingers are glued to the keyboard, and your concentration has vanished somewhere in the heat haze outside.
CURRENT SITUATION: The "dog days" are here. Media outlets like ' The Weather Channel ' and ' Merkur ' are warning of another heat wave with temperatures well over 30 degrees Celsius. Right now, the collective sigh is beginning in German offices and home offices.
But what if the solution to this annual summer woe is neither expensive nor loud? What if it's waiting right next to your screen, waiting for a chance to save your day?
The quiet hero for hot days
Forget those huge, loud fans that sound like a plane taking off and sweep papers off your desk. The real game-changer is small, smart, and surprisingly unobtrusive. We're talking about a mini fan that draws its power directly from your laptop.
The genius of it? It creates a personal oasis of well-being without disturbing the silence . Imagine a gentle, constant breeze cooling you down while you're undisturbed in an important call or working on a tricky task. It's the colleague who never disturbs, but is always there when you need him – so quietly that you almost forget he's running.
Freedom from the socket hunt
We all know the struggle for the last free power outlet under the desk. This little helper puts an end to that. It's wonderfully undemanding and uses a free USB port on your PC, laptop, or even your power bank.
This means your personal cooling device is as mobile as you are. Whether at a crowded desk in an open-plan office, on the small side table in your home office, or even on the train on your way to your next appointment—your fresh breeze simply travels with you.
A splash of color for every desk
In addition to its clever technology, this small fan also brings color to the often drab office routine. Simply choose the style that best suits you and your workspace:
Small in size, huge in impact
Don't let its size fool you. This compact fan (just 15 cm tall) has enough power to instantly break the oppressive heat in your workplace. Just press a button, and the stuffy air transforms into a pleasant breeze, helping you think clearly again.
Given the current extreme weather, this isn't just a comfort, but a real productivity booster . Instead of struggling through the afternoon, you'll keep a cool head and get your tasks done with ease.
Conclusion: Don’t wait until you melt
So don't wait until you melt from the heat. Sometimes the simplest tricks make the biggest difference. And this one fits on any desk.
