People get tired of their surroundings and a spruce-up can boost their energy and creativity. 

Moving furniture or going to a fresh place can help your productivity.

Plan ahead for the week, month or year when you are energized and feeling motivated, for better results for getting stuff done.

Minimizing or removing distractions is a great way to keep your productivity high, and it goes beyond just smartphones. 

The root cause is our emotional discomfort and a need to be distracted.

Plan your day calendar reflecting your values, and stay on the tasks at hand.

The 4 methods to ignite productivity even when motivation is low:

1. Plan ahead when energized
2. Find a way to minimize distractions
3. Get an outside motivator
4. Change or switch workplace

If you can’t hold yourself accountable, it’s a good idea to bring in an outside influence.

An accountability partner forces you to acknowledge the ways you’re sabotaging yourself, take personal responsibility and complete that to-do list.
