I finally tried that route through the park this morning, and it was exactly the right call.
I left a little earlier so the paths were still quiet, and the whole walk felt calmer than taking the busier streets.
The light was soft, there were barely any people out, and I noticed a bunch of tiny details I usually miss when I am rushing somewhere.
I think that was what I needed more than anything, just a slower start with less noise around me.
After that I made tea, put my phone down for a while, and actually finished the small list I kept avoiding all week.
Nothing dramatic changed, but the day felt more manageable once I stopped treating everything like it had to happen at once.
I am going to repeat the same plan tomorrow because it kept me much more steady.
If you want, I can send the simple checklist I used to keep the morning from spinning off in six different directions.

Costco Wholesale has sent this membership-related notice to share an available continuation option tied to expired membership status.

I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to actually try the idea before saying whether it helped.
So I used that simple desk setup you mentioned, and it turned out to make a bigger difference than I expected.
I moved the lamp to the side, cleared the pile of notebooks into one tray, and stopped keeping random papers in three different places.
It feels much less distracting now, and I am not losing time searching for things every hour.
I also took your suggestion about changing tasks every so often instead of sitting in one loop all afternoon.
That part was probably the biggest improvement because I came back to things with a lot more patience.
Tonight I am going to tidy up the shelf so it matches the rest of the room and hopefully stays that way.
If you have any other ideas for keeping the setup easy to maintain, send them along because I am clearly better with very simple systems than complicated ones.
