There’s a ton of software I can’t live without, not because I literally can’t, but it would be a hassle without it. Before, it was mostly about games and hobbies, but now it’s all work-related. That’s adulting for you.

   I get you, because ever since I started running my own business, the number of tasks and the software needed to manage them has increased. We decided not to rent an office permanently but to use Unspot office desk booking system to book workspaces or entire offices for events. We can’t do without this software now.
