How to be firmly ‘planted’ in the months ahead
If you’re lucky to be working from home, this winter is already looking a lot different than it did earlier this year. Time changes, darkness and cold weather in many parts, or just general continued lockdowns and home life are still merging with work life going into holiday seasons. What hasn’t changed is the incessant snacking in my sweatpants in between zoom meetings (hey we’re all doing our best here).
We compiled a collection of some links we’ve shared with one another recently and have found relevant for the months ahead.
Helpful Reads
