A natural way to answer

I work best at a tidy desk with everything I need within reach. Good natural light makes a big difference, and a bit of quiet helps me knuckle down and focus on one task at a time.

Key phrases to use

  • get in the zone — to reach a state of total focus where work feels easy“Once I get in the zone, I can write for hours.”
  • knuckle down — to start working hard and seriously“I really need to knuckle down and finish this report today.”
  • block out — to stop yourself from noticing or being disturbed by something“I put on music to block out the noise from the street.”
