When we returned home yesterday evening, I was ready to get to work, fresh from a break from routine. The time away also made me think about my home office set-up⏤things that are working and things that could be improved, and so I searched around for some inspiration.
A SCHOOL FRIEND once remarked that I was good at seasons, and when I thought about it, I realised that she was right.
