Somewhere I read that changing location, like entering a room, can rejigger neural pathways so that some thoughts and memories are somehow associated with the space. It's the same for me when picking up a laptop. My purpose feels clear until I open a blank web browser window and [my mind goes blank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-dependent_memory#The_outshining_hypothesis), too. In all the moments where I'm drawing a total blank, and then suddenly the thoughts come easily again: maybe that's my brain looking for the room it was in before.
