How Fashion YouTubers Stay Sane & Productive While Working From Home

The lives of millions have been upended due to Covid-19, resulting in many who normally do not spend all 24 hours of the day inside their homes to do just that. People who are working remotely for the very first time are now realizing that it's not as easy as it sounds. I mean, the bed is right there, mocking you while also begging you to come back to it.

It can be difficult to stay productive while working from home, especially for those who are used to the structure of an office space. Perhaps you live in a studio apartment without a proper desk, or maybe you live with a partner or roommate who you're just now realizing does not particularly jive with your workflow. Fortunately, these are solvable problems.

Fashion YouTubers are full of solid tips and advice on how to work from home while staying productive and sane. Save for events and press trips, a majority of their responsibilities are done from home and they've perfected it to a science. Below, we compiled seven videos from some of our favorite fashion vloggers on how they've been coping with quarantine and how we all can improve our new work-from-home lifestyles. Get ready to make your bed!

Working From Home Tip #1: Take breaks

Working From Home Tip #3: Create a workspace

If you don't have room for a desk in your house or apartment, allow bestdressed's Ashley to show you how to make the most of the space you do have, even if that means working from your bed.

Working From Home Tip #4: Stick to a schedule

If you struggle just to get out bed (talking to myself, don't mind me), Jenny, also known as Wear I Live, is not here to judge you.
