I can admit, I need a very certain set of conditions for me to be a productive human being.
For as long as I can remember, I have been very absolutely distracted from my work by the external stimulations around me.
If there is a lot of noise in my environment, I cannot focus. If there is a lot of interest going on around me, I would much rather stare at the moving objects than a laptop screen. If there are uneven temperature conditions in the environment where I am trying to work, I might as well pack up my things & go back to bed. I actually cannot focus when I am dealing with unpleasant indoor air conditions. I am equally unhappy if the indoor air temperature is too high or too low. When I am shivering in my seats, dealing with numb fingers & toes, but, my work gets seriously challenging to complete. This is why I have been attached at the hip to a powerful space heating system for the past several weeks. I realized a while ago that my central heating, cooling, & air quality control system is not powerful enough to keep my entire house at an even temperature. There are regularly fluctuating tepid & cold patches no matter what room you are in. I have tried to insulate my house & to improve my heating, cooling, & ventilation equipment, but the temperature discrepancies have continued. That’s when I finally bought a self-explanatory space heating system online & decided that this alternate heating equipment is my savior. At this point, I will not go someplace in the house separate from my portable heating device… but I’m very sleepy of getting burnt.
