Setting up my New Bookshelf & tour 📚 light academia

Hello, and welcome to my channel. This is a space for study enthusiasts and tea drinkers, and those who spend hours ambling around libraries and book shops. I hope that my videos can provide motivation and encourage you to be productive, but without feeding into Hustle Culture. I think that productivity is all about enjoying what we do, and finding time for things that bring us happiness or will bring us happiness in the future -- and I hope to celebrate this kind of living on my channel.

We need to have good relationship with the objects around us in our environment. Can you please make a video on how can we make our environment (study room) in a way that it triggers cues that makes our lives more productive.
