The pandemic brought a year of transitions for so many of us back in 2020 and we are still working on figuring out what this new life looks like. You, or someone you know, likely began working remotely during the pandemic. Chances are, if you’re still working remotely – you’ve probably started to try and figure out your office organization. So many of us started by working at our kitchen tables until we realized this might be more permanent.
If you’ve started to transition your kitchen-table workspace into a home office and you’re stuck, Meat and Potatoes professional organizing services are here to help! Whether you live in a studio apartment or in a mansion on the river, your workspace needs to be as productive as possible! If you find yourself struggling, we can help guide you through the process and make sure your home organization and office organization is helping you get the most out of your space.
