Separate Your Workspace
Designating a separate space for work can not only help encourage focus, but it can also help us better decompress when it’s time to put work away for the day.
“When working at home, we’ve completely lost that point in time where labor and leisure are separated,” said New York City-based architect Kevin Lichten.
And, if it’s not possible to have a separate room for a home office, Jamie Gold, a San Diego-based wellness design consultant and author, suggests dividing a space with a visual separator, such as a large planter, bookcase or screen to help you “leave” work by closing it off to view when you’re relaxing.

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Which is Healthier for Your Family?
Which of these Foods is a Healthier Choice for Your Family’s Heart?
- Chicken breast
- Extra lean ground beef
- Both about the same
The Answer:
Extra-lean ground beef is lower in cholesterol than a chicken breast. Plus, it has more B12, iron, and zinc, which boost energy, keep your heart healthy, and protect you from disease.
Buy the kind that says “97%” to “99%” lean on the label. Drain it on a paper towel after browning it to cut even more unhealthy saturated fat. Then dish up the right size portions: about the size of half of your palm for kids 4 to 8, and about the size of a deck of cards for older kids and adults.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Oh Me! Oh Life!
O Me! O Life!
Walt Whitman
O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I,
and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the
struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring-What good amid these, O me,
O life?
Answer.
That you are here-that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

“I think a lot of young aspiring writers get misdirected; they think ‘I ought to write this, even though I enjoy reading that’. What you have to do is write what you enjoy reading.”
