deep-autum A change of scenery

Procrastination and inaction are habits that must be broken in order to get things done. These habits are often reinforced by your environment. If the things around you are the same as they’ve been for a long time, you’re likely to continue with the same actions (or lack of actions) that you’ve adhered to for a long time. To break the cycle, it can help greatly to put yourself in a new environment. This can take many forms. Just cleaning up your desk or workspace can make a big difference. A new lamp, a new arrangement of the furniture, or a new picture on the wall can produce a significant change of environment. Even better, spend time in a completely different place. Take your laptop computer to the public library and do your work there. Take a walk. Make a trip to another town, region or continent. If you can’t afford that, just go to the airport and vicariously absorb the energy of faraway places.

When your momentum is negative, interrupt it. Give yourself a change of scenery. It will provide you with a great opportunity to make a fresh start, and to get yourself taking action.
