Have all of the tools you need laid out organized and within arm’s reach. This makes you more efficient and reduces your resistance to doing a certain task because it requires getting up to fetch something. 

If you can’t leave everything out or you have a mobile working situation, carry a bag stocked with all of your essential tools, materials, electronics, and papers. 

Some people are creative in a quiet environment, while others hit the flow state to the pounding beat of their favorite song. 

Neither pattern of activity is right or wrong. The essential point is that to be aware of aware of what works for you when working. You can take notice of how you respond to these sorts of environmental factors and stage your day accordingly

If a custom workspace isn’t feasible, make small adaptations to your workspace: 

• Bringing in a small lamp with a soft white light bulb for a warmer glow
• Keeping fresh flowers or plants in your area
• Putting up some favorite pieces of art or inspiring quotes
• Tacking up fabric on the wall
• Requesting additional drawers so that your surface looks less cluttered.
