I have been focusing on some of my work spaces and habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I realized that if I sit at the kitchen table to study, I am much more likely to write notes and impressions. I am less distracted in the kitchen than when I study on the sofa, so I moved my books to a kitchen shelf for easy access.

My adaptable study space in the kitchen is great, but I also like my secluded work space in the basement for writing (complete with a space heater). There is something powerful about a dedicated work area. At this basement desk, I have trained myself to focus on writing only. This desk has some paper, a few pens and pencils, and a stapler, and I am surrounded by books. There is nothing to set up, and I just turn on the computer and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have another desk in the bedroom where I can store important papers and it&#8217;s easy to keep very tidy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of these days I will reclaim my sewing work area in the basement. What is it about a sewing space that invites clutter? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yes, if you are counting, I have admitted to having 4 desks in my house.
