Love this connection. Such an important thing to reflect on! I have several shifting spaces, but they're each quite intentional, and I like the shifting aspects of them.
Oof, I just want to say thank you for NOT citing Atomic Habits on habit-formation... I was recommended that book a while ago and found it absolutely infuriating and problematic on so many levels! I love this idea of having certain spaces for certain types of tasks, though I think with the way my brain works it's often more helpful for me personally to have a rotation of spaces (usually home, campus, public library, occasionally a cafe) to cycle through depending on my mood and focus levels for the day. (My living situation is also a little small to have much meaningful separation between workspaces)
I have been thinking about spaces in my house so much as I try to cultivate a routine for my creative practice a month into starting a full time office job, post MFA. Last winter break, I wrote half a novel draft lounging on my 3/4 length couch. Now that porch weather is dropping off, I think I might make the couch my dedicated workspace again. I don’t really use it for anything else!
