As much as we’d like to be spending the year doing what we usually do, the new norm thanks to COVID unfortunately permits no such thing.
Many of us have been either been working from since the pandemic began, or going to the office on a rotation basis but either way, one thing’s for sure – we’ve been spending way more time at home. And will continue to do so – as of now.
The importance of working from home yet having a healthy, balanced life cannot be stressed enough. And when you work, play, rest and eat from that very same place, it does not help your mental health and this hope of achieving a work-life balance one bit.
Just take a look at number 1 of this article by Forbes on ‘How to maintain work life balance when working from home’.
With that in mind, we’ve got some suggestions on how you too can achieve this necessary balance by creating a cozy, inspirational and inexpensive home office of sorts.
