Greetings!
The weather's getting warmer, the day's are getting longer, and with Governor Newsom's recent statement projecting a full reopening of the economy (if certain benchmarks are met) by June 15th, it's starting to look like summer fun will be able to return in earnest this year!
I can't help but look forward to the possibility of summer concerts, movies in cinemas, and plays in theaters! We're not out of the woods yet, but the light at the end of the tunnel has never been brighter.
Whether you've had a chance to receive your vaccination or are still awaiting eligibility, I hope you are staying safe and well and finding joy in the little things as we get closer and closer to the end of this pandemic.
This month's e-zine is jam-packed with fun info, from ideas to organize (or re-organize) your home office, to yoga poses you can still do even if you have moved back into the office, brand new top candidates and more!
Wishing you all the best!

15 Office Organization Ideas and Tips:
Try These Organizational Ideas to Keep the Clutter Low and the Productivity High
Article published on March 23rd, 2021 on familyhandyman.com

1.) Use Wall Space
If you’re looking for office organization ideas, make your walls functional by mounting a corkboard, whiteboard, chalkboard or magnetic surface to the whole wall. Use this to pin current projects, inspiration, calendars, to-do lists, memos and more!
Don’t have a full room to devote to an office? Check out how to turn a closet into an office.
2.) Add Useful Personality
Use spray adhesive to cover a cork or magnetic board with a decorative pattern. High-quality wrapping paper, wallpaper or fabric work to create a functional, unique piece of art for your office space where you can keep important information or inspiration on the wall.
3.) Organize Paperwork with a Pot Lid Holder
Borrow from the kitchen! Use a kitchen pot lid stand to organize your desktop’s most current paperwork. A simple wooden dowel style like this can easily be painted to match your décor.
4.) Reuse and Recycle Food Tins
Before you throw out empty tea, coffee and cookie tins, give them a quick rinse. Reuse them to uniquely store office supplies, photos and junk drawer items. The square shape is harder to tip than a round pencil cup.
5.) Go Vintage for the Perfect Fit
Repurpose otherwise decorative antiques and flea markets finds like this vintage train case for office storage that looks good sitting on a shelf. This works great for items that aren’t used every day, but can’t fit behind closed doors or drawers. These are the best home office paint colors.

Office Yoga:
8 Poses You Can Do at Work
Your work desk holds your family photos, stacks of paperwork, and your mid-afternoon snack stash.
Did you know it’s also a great spot to practice yoga at work?
Office yoga at work is an extremely beneficial way to improve your energy levels, relieve pain in that lower back or those sore shoulders. When you’ve been sitting for too long, and you’re ready for a stretch break, there are plenty of moves you can do right where you are.
Forget fancy equipment and complicated poses. It’s time to find your inner Zen, even with phones buzzing and fluorescent lights glaring overhead. Play your favorite yoga playlist in your earbuds and dive right in.
Today, we’re sharing eight yoga poses made for busy professionals looking to squeeze a little more out of their break time. Best part? You don’t even need to change out of your work clothes!
Keep in mind: We always recommend starting out your office yoga path with a private yoga class at work. Yoga at work helps boost energy levels, and even reduce sickness absence (yay for healthier employees using less sick days)! Our highly-trained yoga instructors come to your office! The class will focus on countering the negative effects of stress, burnout, and prolonged desk sitting.
Ready to learn more? Let’s get started.
Begin with Your Breath
Before you enter into any of these yoga at work poses, take a few seconds to focus on your breath.
Sit at the front edge of your chair to create a straight line from your ears to your hips. Your knees should be even with your hip joints, and your feet should rest flat on the floor, directly under your knees. If you can’t adjust your chair to get this pose right, prop a book under your hips or feet for proper alignment.
Trying your best to tune out the distractions around you, close your eyes, and establish smooth breathing from your diaphragm. Notice how your upper abdomen and lower hips expand when you inhale and fall as you exhale. When you feel ready, you can begin the various poses.
1. Seated Twist
One of the best ways to practice yoga at your desk? Start with a simple seated twist.
Start by sitting in your chair with your back against the backrest. As you inhale, lift your arms over your head and as you exhale, twist to your right, placing both hands on the right armrest for support. Sitting in an armless chair? Place your right hand on the seat, behind your pelvis, and place your left hand on your right thigh.
Lengthen your spine with every inhale, allowing your body to stretch deeper into the pose. Hold the pose on each side for up to 60 seconds, and then switch sides.
