We look for all kinds of ways to motivate ourselves, but sometimes all we really need is a little change of environment. An extra light here, books on the other side of our desks etc can do wonders to our energy level.
One of the things I did lately was change my laptop from a Dell to a MacBook. With the amount of time I spend online, my laptop was pretty much the main part of my work environment. By changing my laptop that looks and feels different, I literally changed everything about my work.
With this change, there is a new level of excitement from checking my emails to posting blog posts. I’m sure that this alone will increase my productivity tremendously as I will be more efficient and can be more creative with my articles.
If a laptop change is too big of a change, try the ones I mentioned above. Other ones include but not limited to:
- Replace the chair that you sit on so many days of the week
- Change the wallpaper/wall color (if you are working at home)
- Buy a really nice and new pen to work with

To summarize it, change is good!
I’ve found a clean office to be an enormous help. Messes are simply too distracting.
Switching to a Mac is a improvement. OS X crashes less often than WIndows and the Mac is full of well thought out and attractive software to make you more productive. I started with a iBook four years ago and I haven’t looked back.
