Today is a new day

2020 has been a wild ride for everyone. One thing is certain - change.

As a marketer, I'm lucky to have the ability to work from home. I'm still adjusting to work from home life, it's quite. 100% home office since Friday, March 13th has brought out new challenges for an extrovert like me. I choose to tackle them with a smile (sometimes forced) and make the best of my new quiet work space.

I've settled into my home office with a few changes.

1. Furniture moving - I'm not a fan of the blur background on video calls. Now everyone doesn't have to look at the elliptical handles (horns) coming out of my head.

2. Wall decor - To inspire and bring positive energy into my space.

3. New desk - I couldn't take another day without a standing desk!

4. Puppy - Yes, we got a puppy in September. The house is no longer too quiet.

5. Outside - See #4. Take breaks to get outside, soak in the sun and fresh air.

It's our choice where to focus energy. I've found that I get farther when I accept what I cannot change and focus my effort on something positive. Pause for a moment to consider the long list of things to be thankful for each day. Smile, keep moving and take one bite of the elephant at a time.
