Building routines to deal with daily chaos, how parameters help you design, and tips for refining your design with Melissa Coleman.

-----

Welcome to episode 207 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Melissa Coleman about designing your perfect workspace.

Consciously Uncoupling and Crafting the Ideal Workspace

You may recall that Melissa Coleman from the food blog, The Faux Martha, was on the podcast just back in December talking about her Year of the Pivot.

Today, she's here to continue the conversation and talk about the project she has been working on recently: designing the new Pinch of Yum offices.

If you don't have a dedicated office to work from, you're not alone. But that doesn't mean that you can't make intentional decisions to refine and optimize your workspace.

Melissa is here to talk through her process for designing a space, as well as the tips that you can and apply to your own workspace.

In this episode, Melissa shares:

• How she's pivoting her time
• Why it's important to put some thought your workspace
• How she builds routines to deal with daily chaos
• Why you should start with the function of your space
• Why mood boards are helpful
• What parameters help you do
• The indicators that your space might be sub-optimal
• Tips for refining your design
