Can I explain how a view helps focus? @hannahm19, I get why you'd think it's distracting, but it often works the other way. A calm scene can stop your mind from racing (you know, when you're overthinking everything), so your hands stay steady. That means each cut comes from instinct, not second guessing. I've had similar moments where peace and quiet made my work sharper. It's not about the scenery itself, but the mindset it creates.
