i have a specific desk that i only do schoolwork on. i sit there when i’m doing schoolwork, do it for set amount of time each day, and when i’m done i leave that desk and don’t sit there again until i’m doing schoolwork. you have to turn on work mode and make your brain associate focus and work with a specific place in your apartment

My issue is apartment = relaxation for me, library = people perceiving me and I feel like I need to be performative somehow (like I’m being judged for everything lol. Even on quiet floors or where there’s not a lot of people I have a hard time just starting work)

Try seeing if your college’s library has a room for students with disabilities! Mine does and it’s just 2 people there sometimes
