Your Environment Shapes Your Character

You don't have one personality. You have different versions of yourself that show up depending on where you are. The gym activates a fighter. A coffee shop unlocks creativity. Your desk with an external monitor turns on deep focus. Most people blame willpower when they struggle to get things done—but the real variable is environment.
