    Interesting concept! I don't have many choices at all in my small space and I found that having to remove myself from that setting wastes too much of my work time. Fortunately my desk is now associated with good focus. Time of day seems to come into play more than my location. I do find that I don't focus well outside! Another teacher says that helped her, but it doesn't help me.

      This is a problem I'm still trying to figure out! RUclips wont let me link in the description (I wonder if my account is too small). The easiest way is to head to a podcast app (for now) or this link player.captivate.fm/episode/3f2b2418-e619-440d-ad34-c5b8de12d858 and it will show the show notes! My goal for next week is to get my site updated with all of the past episodes, show notes, and links on each one, but I really appreciate the patience!
