Spending a lot of time at your desk lately? You're not alone. The pandemic has directly affected our routines and working style, adding a huge question mark to our work-life balance.
To help get yourself in the right mindset and right mood for WFH, you need a home workspace that includes some things that will help you remain productive throughout the day but also bring a smile to your face.
