You want a layout that keeps you in the zone but also doesn’t scream “busy.” Start with zones: a high‑density area for the heavy lifting—desk, dual monitors, quick‑access tools—flanked by a low‑density zone that acts as a mental buffer: a comfy chair, a small bookshelf, a plant. Use color coding—cool hues on the work side, warm or muted tones on the retreat side. Keep all cables hidden, use modular storage that can be reconfigured in minutes. And remember, silence isn’t just the absence of noise; it’s the presence of purpose. So design a path that feels intentional, not random, and your brain will start to treat the space as both a command center and a sanctuary.

Glad it hits the mark. When you set up, keep the flow simple—less clutter, more function—and the calm will follow. Good luck!
