One advisor told us that we should get an office, because that’s where you’re supposed to work. “You won’t get distracted in an office, so you’ll be more productive.” Poor guy—avoiding distractions doesn’t mean driving twenty minutes away and renting space where there’s nothing fun to do. Find or create a new environment and use it only for work, even if it’s just for set times of day. Leave bad habits at your new door, and they’ll stay out.
