Most nights I'm in the studio which occupies part of the basement rec room – a dark wood paneled low ceiling room that could use a thousand watts of light. The ritual of descending the stairs each night, turning on a few lights and the tv (my timekeeper) prepares me for creative focus.
The room looks out into the garden if I would bother to open the shades and pull aside the drapes. But I don't at night when I can't see out much. On weekends I can and I do. Then working in the studio can be problematic because I am distracted by beautiful weather and the lure of the garden.
So though the weekend promises many more studio hours, I go into my creative cave at night. That's my creative habit.
