Show Notes
The desk feels too plain, the kitchen table lasts ten minutes, and the couch keeps you for half an hour of settling in. This episode teaches the corner table method: sit in the same seat every day until the seat starts the work for you. You will learn why the perfect setup hunt always fails, the five plain rules of the kept seat, how to claim your corner in ten minutes, and why sameness beats novelty every morning. Then we settle together in a guided sprint, land gently, and close with the corner keeper ritual that turns any corner into a home for your work. Press play, speak your claiming line, and sit down on purpose.
