Space
Despite what you might think, you do not need more space.
If you have too much space you will quickly spend it on novelty and distraction.
If you have just the right amount of space, but at the wrong time, you will barely notice it exists.
A space with low pressure paired with a space with high pressure will create a vacuum.
That vacuum establishes a new equilibrium, but does so with the contents already existing within the two spaces.
You are not so different; when given more space you rarely add net-new things to it, instead you spread out what exists.
Simply creating space is rarely sufficient.
Creating space and defining ‘with what to fill it’ are complementary actions.
The shift you are looking for is an equation: space + thoughtful use + effective timing = sustainable net-new action.
