Keep the work surface clear
Leave only the notebook, current pen, and one active item in reach. Put the rest in a nearby container.
Make starting easy
Store commonly used materials together and return them after each session. A visible starting place reduces setup friction.
Add one useful comfort
Good light, a coaster, or a small tray can be enough. Avoid adding objects that compete for the limited surface.
