Technology For Mindfulness

There are many critical aspects to creating a space within our home environment that is conducive to productivity. Not only can this mental boundary assist in efficiency and boosting our motivations professionally, it can also be a healthy bridge for us to open communication between ourselves and those of us who we’re sharing space with.

Particularly now in the midst of this global pandemic, learning strategies that help alleviate some of these stressors has never been more important.
