How Your Workspace Is Stopping You From Being Productive?

Work from home has become work from bed with your family surrounding you

If you are new to writing, writing daily even for 10 mins is the best you can do to create that habit. I was getting into the mindset after writing continuously for some time now and could easily concentrate on it as I do with my office work.

But being new at writing, it is hard to get back to it when you leave it for some days at a time. I was sick for seven days and for the last two days I was just sitting in my bed staring at the blank screen. I felt irritated and agitated.
