2. Establishing your space

I think it’s important to associate certain spaces with certain kinds of work. For instance, I spent most of my time in my bedroom. My desk is where I sit when I need to be productive and at this point my brain associates work with sitting at the desk. I try not to work from an armchair or my bed because I want to continue to associate relaxation with those spaces. I’ve found that if I spend the day working from my bed and then try to relax with some TV from the same spot, I don’t feel any emotional distance from the work and the motivations of the two activities start to merge. The work feels less productive and the recreation feels less relaxing.
