Nearly every aspect of our personal and professional lives has been turned upside down with the impact of COVID-19. Many of us are still working from home, and those who are in offices are wearing masks and staying six feet apart in meetings and elevators. Events and activities have been canceled, creating a communication crisis mode for both small and large businesses who depend on social media to inform and entertain their customer base. So, what do you talk about when there’s nothing to talk about?   

As many of us began working from home as a result of area “safer at home” directives, some women are leaning into the freelance market as a more long-term option. If you do make the decision to be your own boss, it’s then time to navigate the waters of the day-to-day, especially landing on a system of pricing yourself.   

Productivity was important even before a global pandemic, and now it's absolutely essential to reach our professional goals. More women than ever are working from home, and that means many of us have had to re-learn how to begin our days. We asked Jackson-area blogger and friend of The Source, Laurel Donahoo, to share her tips and tricks for getting the morning started off on the right foot.
