My 90 Second Office/ Bedroom Conversion
Finding a space at home where I can lock my door and get to work uninterrupted was essential to my successful return. This was the main reason in all honesty that I left for 30 days. So many distractions, so many little tasks that called to me. I could use distraction all day to avoid…
