A new pair of shoes for our kids is a new beginning
When people began setting up home offices at the start of the pandemic, productivity gurus offered all kinds of helpful work-from-home hacks. (I promise this has to do with kids and shoes.) One piece of advice in particular caught my attention: Dress like you’re still going into the office. Of course, fans of yoga pants and […]
