Extreme weather causes significant damage to homes and businesses each year. Although your home can’t become completely immune to weather-related problems, you can do several things to try to protect your house

Whether you are a freelancer, a remote worker for a company, a small company owner, or just someone who occasionally works from home it is so important to create a routine, and more importantly, a workspace, that allows you to be as productive as you can working from home.

In our hectic lives, we frequently forget how lucky we are. Pause, and see around - you have a Home. You have family, friends, pets, and memories. Sure, life is imperfect, but at the end of the day, it would not be fun if everything came easy. Feel gratitude for what you have accomplished. It is all part of a balance, so remember to sometimes just sit back and enjoy. Happy New year ☺
