Right now, most colleges have made the switch to distance learning, and if you find yourself suddenly at home having to share space with your family, you're not alone. If you had your perfect study space set up in your room at school, and now feel a bit out of place, don't worry. These are unprecedented times for everyone, but we want to make sure that your schoolwork doesn't suffer by helping to make your new workspace just as productive, no matter where it is.
These 13 products will help keep you tuned in and on track for the rest of the semester. We'd recommend not working in your bed, and finding a dedicated place to do work, because it helps get you into the right mindset. From school supplies dividers to dedicated electronic organisers, just keep reading to shop our picks!
