With the majority of office spaces closing in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, most of us are having to work from home more than we ever have before. It can be difficult to blend the comfortable space of home with your everyday work and professional tasks. The dining area that was reserved for dinner guests has now been converted into a full-on office space to accommodate your multiple screens and endless wires.  But no matter how many times you reposition your screens, and how many fake plants you put in the room to make it both homely and office-like, it can be very demotivating to work in isolation day-in and day-out from the four walls of your house.  That’s why it’s important to get organized and create what we like to call a “productive planner” to keep you both motivated and on top of your working schedule.
