Working, Learning, Living at Home: How to Navigate, Transform, Appreciate

This year has brought about unimaginable changes in how we work, learn and live.  So much of our daily existence -- whether as individuals or as members of a family, student, professional or social cohort -- is happening inside our homes.  For too many of us, a stable home is not a certainty. For those fortunate to have a safe home during this health and economic crisis, we've been made even more aware of how important our dwellings are to us.

And as our appreciation of our homes increases, so do our requirements.  Finding ways to create separate spaces to concentrate on learning, work, socializing or solitude, while harmoniously living together is hard.

• Consider inexpensive or DIY room dividers for carving out distinct zones or spaces, or simply to hide clutter at the end of the day.
• Perhaps you have a closet that can be converted into a study area or mini office, relegating its contents to empty suitcases or storage bins. One client created a recording studio out her bedroom closet.
• Rearrange a space to create a reading nook with a favorite armchair, floor lamp and small side table. 

Home can bring serenity and well-being to our soul or spirit. As we navigate the myriad circumstances making our lives more difficult, let’s remember the many ways adversity stretches our imagination, resolve and resourcefulness. And during this time of extended home-stays, let us also remember to be thankful for all the joy our homes offer us.
