For the first time, I find myself living on my own. After my housemate moved out, I now get to decide how to organise and style the whole flat. So I spent some time thinking about it, and before I got a single tester pot or piece of furniture, I wanted to give each room a purpose and a list of activities. So this post is to share that with you.

I asked two questions:

1. Why do I need to be in that room?

2. What will I be doing in there?

Office

Where I make Chuffed Solutions succeed.

• Focusing on billable work

• Creating the Sales and Marketing materials and strategy

• Bookkeeping and accounting

• Co-working in Focusmate sessions

Kitchen

Where I get the sustenance needed that also works towards my longevity goals.

• Prepare and Cook healthy meals

• Track and record my consumption

• Store the foods I want to eat

• Work towards my weight loss and longevity goals

Living Room

I come here to have DomTime.

• Watch YouTube, TV, and movies

• Play video games

• Chat on the phone with friends

• Read

• Entertain guests

Bedroom

The place to relax, be creative, and recharge.

• Sleep

• Play guitar

• Code

• Learn

• Stream

From here, a lot of decisions get made. For example, I was initially going to have my whole streaming set up in the office, but then I realised I didn’t need it. Also, I found many things in the kitchen that made sense to give away.

Overall, I feel much more comfortable in the space, even though I have only sorted a few bits and pieces. But I feel more guided and purposeful in the design of each room.
