I love those rules!!! I've started using my phone to film time lapse of myself writing, so that it isn't available for me to reach! It's been a game changer.
This is such a lovely little writing nook! It's a great idea to make rules for the space and disconnect from the internet. Unfortunately, my primary writing space is also where I play games, sort out life admin, junk journal and occasionally watch tv. I have a cheap laptop that I sometimes take out with me to the library or a coffee shop if I really need to focus on something! 😅
Thank you friend! That's definitely hard when your primary writing space has so many other uses in the home too. It's a great idea to step outside when you need some extra focus. I wonder if you can also take breaks between switching tasks, or use a different browser window, or even use color-coding somehow? Anything to let your brain know what you should be focusing on at any given moment!
Thanks Auzin! I generally only focus on one thing a day and have reminders in my calendar for them so I know it’s “admin day” or “substack day” which really helps my brain! 💜
I love the idea of disconnecting from the internet! And working on the floor is such a vibe. I imagine it probably helps you feel like a kid, which is great for creativity
That nook is cozy as hell!! 😍 I hate doing anything creative at my desk since it’s the same one I use for my job and it just makes everything feel like work instead of fun! This is so inspiring, I gotta make a nook asap!!
Eeeek I'm so glad this inspired you bb! I totally get that, separation of work + play is so important! <3 send me a pic once you make your nook, I bet it'll be adorable~

You're so right, I think it does help tap into that mind space! :)
CONGRATS ON THE FIRST DRAFT!! Omg I can’t wait to read it someday! Hugo House is the best.
And thx for the shoutout :’)
