Day 6 - Sept 6 - Workspaces

Daily Check-In Post Number 6! How did things go today? Are you feeling on track with your goals, or still making adjustments?

As always, new members are welcome! Introduce yourself and tell us about your progress today!

I recently moved into a very small living space, and have been working hard to simplify my life. Part of that meant giving up my "office" (and/or "sewing room") which was basically an 80 sq ft junk drawer. Now I have a little table in a corner as my in-home workspace, and I occasionally get work done there. But my local library, despite all the distractions of people-watching and roomfuls of books, is actually the place where I am most productive.

It seems counterintuitive to me, but I always work best in public. Part of it is certainly about appearances. Some part of me is always basically roleplaying a very busy adult doing very important things when I know other people can see me. But I think it also has to do with the space itself: quiet (but not eerily silent), well-lit, spatious, clean, tables to spread out on, and free wifi for when I need to send time-sensitive emails and/or look at pictures of cats.

Where do you all work best? Do you have a space set aside for writing, or exercise, or other work that you do? Or are you able to work anywhere? Are there essentials that you cannot be productive without? Has your ideal workspace changed over time?
