By setting up a place we don't mean work from your bed. If you want to ace in productivity you’ve to set a space where you can work regularly. You could either turn your old sewing table into a work desk or use a dining table/ stool /study desk that brings comfort, awareness, and helps you create focus. Keep a water bottle and a few healthy nuts trails by the side for healthy snacking. Make it a ritual to sit in the same space and work.
Journaling
