Make working from home more joyful
For those of you new to working from home, there’s lots of advice out there about how to deal with the pitfalls and stay productive and sane (“Take a shower!” “Don’t spend too much time on social media!”). Here are a few ideas for creating a workspace and routines that will make working from home a joyful, sustainable experience.
Architecture challenges for children
British architecture studio Foster + Partners is publishing a series of architecture challenges, including building a paper skyscraper and creating a city, to keep children in coronavirus lockdown entertained. Called #architecturefromhome, the initiative was launched to help entertain and educate children who are currently stuck at home.

'Prior to lockdown, I rarely worked from home, but needs must and I have created a little space for myself in the corner of our bedroom where I can focus on daily tasks and get away from the mayhem!'
