The COVID-19 pandemic thrust many of us in a sudden work-at-home setup. While some were already prepared with their decked out workstations, most families, especially those who live in small spaces, found it hard to have a dedicated workspace that inspires productivity.
How to fit a workstation in a small space
While having a dedicated space for your job is important to ensure maximum efficiency, some of the essentials you’ll need can put a dent on your budget. Not to mention, it might take up a lot of space.
On our parenting community, Smart Parenting Village, moms shared photos of their workstations, plus how they were able to make it fit in their small bedrooms and homes.
