Here are Your Favorite Posts From the Blog (So Far)

If you’ve been keeping up with our business, you know it’s been a wild ride for Julian//West (in a good way). With the new year upon us, we’ve been quarterly planning and building out a content calendar that we hope will be better than ever.

As we plan ahead, we want to make more of the posts you enjoy and less of the ones you don’t. Good or bad, data always helps us make better decisions as our business grows.

But enough about us. We thought it would be fun to recap the posts that you, our audience, liked the most. So, without further ado, here they are.

In this post, I share a bit about my home office, which doubles as a bedroom. I talk about the things I did to make it feel homier for guests while still being functional for me, since I work from home exclusively.

9. 2022 review

I was a little nervous to write a recap about 2022, especially since we didn’t officially announce our business until the fall. But if you don’t celebrate wins along the way, they’re easy to forget. As I wrote this post, I realized we had a really fun year and a lot to be excited about.

8. Increasing creativity in business

This how-to lists a few actionable ways you can add creativity to your business, job, or even hobby. I sometimes oscillate between feeling inspired and feeling creatively blocked. It can be helpful to have a checklist for those times when creativity is elusive.

4. My favorite home office items

My office is my happy place (most of the time), so I wanted to fill it with functional things that improve my work process and my mood. In this post, I share my favorite office items and the places you can get them, too.

3. How to deal with difficult coworkers and clients

Judging from the popularity of this post, I can see we’ve all had a difficult colleague or two (ha!). This blog post talks about ways you can level with challenging personalities, as well as how to know when someone is creating a hostile environment.
