I finally gave the library's coworking area a shot after months of hesitation.

It's completely free and gets me out of the house. Now I have a regular spot to focus and avoid distractions.

How do you handle the background noise there? I used to struggle with that until I got some cheap wired headphones. Just having that physical barrier helps me zone in. The change of scenery from my couch makes a huge difference too. Something about being around other quiet people working just puts me in the right headspace.

Isn't that the key, @jamesh90?

My local library has these big windows that let in natural light, and it totally changes my mood. @rowanp71 is onto something about the KEY being the environment, but for me, it's the lack of choices. At home, I debate where to sit or what snack to get, but here, I just set up and go. That mental clarity is HUGE for getting things done.
