Naming it is a great thing to do. Bravo. Sustainable working can't live in this isolated zone. It reminds me of the 'death zone' that exists somewhere near the top of Everest - the body can't repair itself there and it's literally a matter of a few hours before you have to get to lower altitude. I think we have lost this perspective about isolated working - it has tremendous benefits but a balanced view must see the need for community, serving others and getting out into the Physical World as essential for healthy longevity.
I absolutely relate to this. I have been animating, illustrating and freelancing alone in my cage for a long time and it has left me procrastinating, seeking to ditch this gig and go out and do something that involves real human.
This is not just specific to Motion Designers. I have been a UX/UI product designer for the last ten years and even before the pandemic working remote was the norm. If you arent hired full time with a company and just work freelance, then it is typical that an entire week can go by where you do not interact with anybody, especially if you live alone. I believe it is a big problem and can squash creativity on many levels.
Great point Francesco. I think it might apply to everyone around working with mostly tasks from our computer. And people that are within """creative""" fields, that need to generate new outputs everyday.

Yes, Jason, I think thay way of prortraying it feels quite accurate. It's at some point, intrinsically wired to the human being.
Working at the library and co-working with friends has recently helped me with this, it's a tough one to figure out a healthy routine for!
It's a great idea. Been hearing from many people doing this.
On my side I prefer to work in environments oof other people working, that might not be my friends (I really like to talk hah)
Hey is it possible to do motion design and be successful without the involvement of music in it

Yess! That also. I've find myself more focused and chill overall while working at coworking spaces
