The Evolution of the Home Office
Workspace
Home offices and workspaces have never been higher on buyers' priority lists and sellers are finding ways to make their homes appeal to a remote-working audience. So what does this mean for the home office moving forward? How will it continue to evolve? Only time will tell. In the meantime, it's a good idea to curate a home office that fits your needs here and now. 
3 Tips for Creating a Routine

Late summer is turning to fall all around us. The change of season presents an opportunity to refresh, reorganize, and get into a flow that works for your lifestyle. Here are three tips for creating a routine. 

ARRANGE YOUR DAY

Structuring your routine for morning, afternoon, and evening will help keep you organized. Whether you're an early riser or a night owl, align your day with your sleep schedule.

PRIORITIZE

Do you enjoy taking your time preparing dinner? Is it crucial that you exercise before eating breakfast? Build your routine around your priorities so that you can enjoy the important parts of your day.

MAKE ADJUSTMENTS

Once you've set up your routine, remember that nothing is set in stone. Stay flexible to changes in your schedule until you find the right combination. If a certain routine doesn't work out, it's not a failure—it's simply a step in the right direction.

How to Meal Prep

We all know what it feels like when hunger pangs strike suddenly in the middle of the day and you realize you forgot to pack something to eat. The solution? Meal prepping.

I hope this issue of Home Update helps you manage your work-life balance, whether you're working in-person full-time, have a hybrid work schedule, or continue to work remotely.

Recent times have changed our perception of home offices, elevating them to one of the most important spaces in a home. Now more than ever we see the value in curating a home workspace that accommodates your needs. Keeping the space organized and decluttered will help you stay productive, while adding personal touches and artwork can provide some much-needed inspiration during the workday. If you have already returned to in-person work or will be doing so in the near future, think of ways you can repurpose your home office now that you won't be using it as much.
