  1. I think if you’re going to spend time working at home is a good idea to dedicate a separate space for your work and make it into somewhere you’d want to spend time working in. It’s also worth it to invest in some ergonomic furniture to avoid back pain, at least for me.

  2. Gina the Himalayan salt lamp looks like a great idea, it goes well with your decor too. I also think choosing the right home office furniture is essential for productivity, for mental steadiness and physical health.

  3. This is something that interested me a lot, and it is a very essential factor that needs to be taken into consideration by all business and MNCs.
