I think that it's really important to have something to relax and have a rest from hard work. I myself prefer video gaming but in a workshop the PC is quite old, it's impossible to play modern games on it so I mostly play casino games like in m777 - https://casinoreviews.my/m777-review/ . And it's a nice alternative actually.
I see that you have approached the creation of a working space very responsibly. I would be interested in how you eventually solved the problem with a personal corner. I always try to make a small nook for myself where I could listen to some music (in headphones) or play xrp dice to put thoughts in order. My wife has always favored these wishes of mine.
Re: workshop space
better than that Jay, will still live here, but my wife needing a bigger warehouse found one near the badminton court, she needs 1500 sq mtr. and we found one with a 2k sq mtr... I guess with this, we will be living and enjoying our home more and a bigger workspace to boot. but I will keep my smallish space here for small jobs that don't require powertools. Our home will be dust free 🙂
Nice to hear this!
