Unfortunately, we don’t all have the benefit of closing the door on our workspace, which can mean working out in the open. This is what reader Tracy has done, who told us, “I put a desk in my living room. I treat it like a study.” This will work particularly well if you don’t have other family members or roommates who also need to use the space. Otherwise, you may be best suited to finding a quiet, out-of-the-way location instead.
