"Remember that what you see online is just a highlight reel - it's not real life," says Samrin Hoque, an Instagram influencer. Daily, we scroll through endless pictures of perfect bodies, glowing skin, and flawless lives. It can sometimes feel inspiring, but it can leave many young people feeling l
Scroll through social media or flip through magazines, and you'll see many pictures of perfectly clean, simple desks. The message seems clear: a tidy desk means having a clear mind and completing lots of work. But that's not the whole story. Peek into the real workspaces of many creative thinkers
