Header image for Interrobang article
We get it; the holiday season does not equal a sudden hold on responsibilities and jobs. The two are just not associated. Instead, the list continues to grow as the tasks wait to be completed. For the friends that just can’t seem to get themselves out of their office or workspace, instead of asking them to leave their agenda behind, help make their time spent working more enjoyable. The only thing a workaholic loves more than productivity are things that help them be more productive.
