Hi @Tiddler — you mentioned something interesting about not being able to “work in the same place every day” — yet you seemed to want to force yourself to do so. I say it’s totally OK to move around. If you can be more productive by shifting location once in a while, go for it.
In fact, I use a little trick i call Venue Change:
When your mind becomes worn from study or a tough task, get up and go somewhere else. To another room. To another chair at the same desk or in the same room. To your porch. To a coffee shop.
The movement gets blood and oxygen to your brain…and the brief break rests your brain muscles – plus, the new environment gives you a psychological fresh start.
Yes, you’ve run the clock a bit by the time you’re back to working, but you can get gads more mileage from your brain’s fuel tank with this simple trick.
Give it a try. And never assume that just cuz “normal people” do something (like sitting in the same seat all freakin’ day and be super-productive) doesn’t mean it’s right for YOUR special wiring!
