This does remind me of preferring to do homework in a moderately loud study hall at school instead of at home back in the late 90s. Then doing the same in quieter halls in college. Just feeling that others around me were in a similar situation was a motivator to just get the work done, and stop putting it off.

A discord I’m on has a ping we use called “Office Hours.” Any given day 2-5 of us will be on the general voice channel chatting and working, with people muting/deafening if they need to be heads down or get a call or something. It’s really nice when my work is a bit more rote. As someone with ADHD having a background hum of activity is just really helpful too.
