With widespread lockdowns and quarantines having been in place for awhile now, I imagine many of us are more intimately familiar with our living spaces -- houses, apartments, rooms, wherever we're stuck -- than we ever have been. We know them inside and out, along with all their positives, negatives, and quirks.
Tell me all about:
- What's the breakdown of your living space?
- What do you appreciate about it?
- What bothers you about it?
- In what ways have you made the space "yours"?
- Do you share it with anyone: pets, plants, or people?
- Are you happy with where you are?
- Is there anything you'd recommend for others regarding their living spaces?

If you are tracking your time, how many hours of focused work are you doing per day on average?
What I mean with focused work is only the time that you are working. Not counting the time you take a break, not counting the time you go to the bathroom, not counting the time you get up to drink water, etc. If you don't stop your time-tracker during non-work activities, please mention it.
