What is a mini work nook? Well, it's the halfway house between a full desk set-up and propping your laptop up on a pillow. Think of it as an escape from your full work desk of technology and a place to creatively recharge. It can be more or less impossible to work on strategy and creative activities when you are surrounded by your normal work from home set up (laptops, monitor, ring light, phones, chargers anyone?)
