Questions this episode helps answer

Can space affect productivity?

Yes. Noise, light, layout, clutter, adjacency, and the presence or absence of dedicated work areas can all affect focus.

What does happiness have to do with design?

Design can make restorative, connective, and meaningful behaviors easier to repeat.

What is a useful first step?

Notice what the home is asking you to fight every day, then design to reduce that friction.
