As long as you want to get into the zone, whatever you do, don’t stay at home.
A common misconception is thinking that being at home is quiet and comfortable. But what is home? It’s a place for sleeping, resting, and fully lying flat. The natural “field” that comes with it isn’t meant for focusing and studying.
As soon as you try to stay disciplined at home, the usual outcome is only one: your daily routine completely falls apart, and you end up extremely scattered, anxious, and totally off your game.
Push yourself to go out! Go to Starbucks and get an Americano; or go to the library and find a corner with the right atmosphere. Or, if nothing else, take nothing with you—just go for a walk by the lake or by the river, and feel the fresh, living air among people. Anything is better than staying in a lifeless room by yourself—by a thousand times.
Switching your physical environment is the only switch for resetting your state.
Stop scrolling on your phone on the couch. Now—right now—put on your shoes and go out.
