I can't have any distractions as I am very AR, sooo, I make beds, do the dishes, tidy up the house. I usually do one household task a day and whatever that is - it has to be done before interring my sewing studio. When my household chores are done then I can sew and not have nagging issues to deal with while I enjoy my hobby. My TV is usually on but I don't watch it much, it must be the white noise I find comforting.
When I'm in my studio I need:
Good lighting
Controlled clutter
One project out at a time
