I think it took 6 months before I made a more permanent setup and didn’t just keep everything on a tray I put on my desk. A year after that maybe I removed the computer screen from the desk to fit racks for 100+ paint bottles… A while after that I upgraded the shelves to be able to display more minis and Warhammer books. I think it’s important to let the spaces you use evolve with how you use them. I use the desk for other things but to have it as a painting station primarily makes me paint more
I tried this on the train while commuting a few times and one time I missed my stop and had to take another train back because I was hyperfocused in the story lol. If I do this I must boost the speed on the audiobook quite a bit so it matches my reading speed, otherwise I get impatient waiting for the audio to catch up. If I listen to only audio I mostly listen to normal speed to not miss stuff though
