Working from home can be a drag, especially when you would prefer to work in person with a team. I am an extrovert, and I love being around others, so working from home has been a real struggle for me.

One thing that my therapist has suggested is to make my space into a sanctuary. This has really helped me focus and feel like there is a safe place for me to work and be myself despite social distancing.

Here are 12 tips that I have used to glam up my desk at home so that working from home isn't as tough.

1. A cute planner/calendar

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
