A great way to start designing your home office is to take inspiration from interior design trends and different workspaces; you should pick and choose to create your own unique home office style made just for you.
Deal Breaking Finds From Social Media Advertising
Let’s face it, the majority of adverts that pop up on our timelines apparently “targeted” to us are pretty off the mark. Sorry Instagram, but as I am a vegetarian I have no desire to suddenly order the triple cheeseburger just because it’s on offer for 99p.
John ThackerPublished 3 years ago in LifehackThe Point of Purchasing: How Spring Cleaning Really Begins at the Shop
The big clean I no longer do spring cleaning. No, I have not decided to become a hoarder. But for many years now, my spring cleaning has become a December o-souji, which is basically the Japanese term for a big or important cleaning. The new year o-souji is a deep house-cleaning, one-part practical clean-up and one-part ritual cleansing — symbolically ridding the house of bad luck from the past year, and sprucing it up for the spirits that will bring good luck in the next.

Leigh FisherPublished 3 years ago in LifehackGet Your Life Together With a Digital Planner
I am not an organized person, and no force on Earth can make me one. I’m scatterbrained and constantly scrambling to get projects done because I forgot about them until the last possible second. That was fine enough when I wrote part-time for occasional clients, but 2020 saw a pivotal shift in my life (as it did many others). I lost my full-time gig as a chauffeur and had to rely on writing entirely to sustain myself.

Inez AnettePublished 3 years ago in LifehackOne Quick, Easy Way To Reduce Visual Clutter In Your Home
I read Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up on Christmas Day of 2014, just before it hit its peak as a pop culture phenomenon with a Netflix spinoff and dozens of imitators. I found the book simple, readable, and incredibly generous with its advice. Many of Kondo’s tips felt like I was getting permission to do something I’d always known I needed to do, or like an explanation for how to do something I’d never been able to figure out before.
Lacey DoddrowPublished 3 years ago in LifehackOrganize Your Way to Productivity
I’m an artist and creative writer—I’m also a student supporting myself financially. I knew getting through school without a job wasn’t an option for me. Getting through six exams in a week is stressful enough without worrying about the finances. An outlet for all that exam stress is being creative by painting or writing but it can be hard to make the time. All that stress can really inhibit my creative flow.
