Grown up School Supplies for Your Desk
As we head into "Back to School" season we get wistful for purchasing new pens, Lisa Frank folders and a cute pencil case, but are those days really over?
With more people working from home or in shared workspaces, we rely less on begging Sharon in reception for extra post it notes and more on ourselves to create the workspace of our dreams and budgets.
Below are some of the too cool for school supplies you should add to your desk.
1. You’re making big plans, write them down!
