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.

The Right Tools

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

The Right Distractions

If a custom workspace isn’t feasible, make small adaptations to your workspace: <ul><li>Bringing in a small lamp with a soft white light bulb for a warmer glow</li><li>Keeping fresh flowers or plants in your area</li><li>Putting up some favorite pieces of art or inspiring quotes</li><li>Tacking up fabric on the wall</li><li>Requesting additional drawers so that your surface looks less cluttered.</li></ul>

The Right Surroundings

When you leverage the fact that you have emotional and mental responses to specific places, you can dramatically increase your productivity. Each person’s optimal environment will look a bit different, but there are a few general elements to take into consideration.

Work environment and productivity

Trigger your mind to change activities with small physical cues:
<ul>
<li>standing up instead of perching on your chair at your elevated desk; </li>
<li>moving your mouse from one side of the keyboard to the other; </li>
<li>sliding your chair over to a different portion of your work surface.</li>
</ul>
You can choose how you associate places with activities, but to achieve the full benefit, aim for a consistent link between place and behavior.

The Right Reminders

Once you've sunk into the warm embrace of your favorite chair after a long day, it can feel excruciatingly difficult to summon up the motivation to go out and exercise, grocery shop, or take in culture. It just seems like far too much hassle and effort to take action.
