In 2020 I started writing a novel. It was an ill-fated endeavour, but I learned a lot along the way.
One of the things I learned is that it's useful to have a separate "space" for writing.
I used to cycle into my city office on Eagle St., then take my laptop and a coffee somewhere else to write. There was this one particular spot, a chair in the lobby of an office building, that had people bustling all around and a view of the river. I'd put in my headphones, play a very specific playlist, and write.
