Being able to work in your PJs in the comfort of your own bed is one of the greatest perks of working from home.

If your laptop can't keep up with your work needs and is dragging your productivity down, it's time to get a new one.

Work productively with Chrome extensions
Every now and again, you get frustrated with your web browser’s limited functionality.
