I noticed you said you never go to your making space. Is there a space you could set up in your house, ideally next to where you watch YouTube? I know for me especially when I want to relax, my brain picks the path of least resistance. So I keep my sketch pad and current knitting next to my favorite seat.
I also have a dedicated art area in my basement but go there far less often - and usually when I do go there it’s because I started sketching while watching TV and got inspired enough for that momentum to move me downstairs.
Not really since my making space is a fully equiped workshop but I do take my laptop there sometimes and put on some stream on the background while doing other stuff. In all honesty I probably should just go there to watch youtube even when I have no intention to work on something because it's almost impossible to just sit there and not atleast start putting stuff back on its place.
I think that's the hard part. For me it's the same. Just like with getting a work out. I have a little gym setup that I can use, but it's the getting ready to use it that always stops me. Just switching my outfit and putting myself in the space is all I need to go in autopilot and start. Sometimes putting yourself into the position where you can easily begin doing the thing, is all you need to do it.
