How do artists develop spaces and methods for making their most authentic work as part of a daily artistic practice?"
I think that most artists start by collecting things that they like. Like pretty paints, or interesting ideas, or scraps of textured materials, or books, or pictures. Some artists nest by piling all this into a cluttered, creative space, while others organize and sort neatly, in order to not be distracted or overwhelmed.
Setting up the space seems like the easier part to me. Developing a method for working is harder. If part of art is to follow your impulses, then what if your impulses tell you to stay curled up in bed? Artists have to find enough motivation to be productive. And are you producing based on your own whims, or with the judgements of others in mind? Which mindset results in the best work, the most productivity? It's probably different for everybody.
