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

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
