Really good suggestions here. I believe I will be putting some of these into practice.

I have been working on keeping my desk free of distractions for some time now, it is very effective at helping to retain focus.

Love this post and your great suggestions. My favorite is to "make it beautiful". Why not?

Great suggestions. I love to work outside where I can be in nature. My thoughts are the clearest there. I've also assigned different bags for different tasks like my leisure reading bag, my humor reading bag, and my productivity bag. I like to move around when I work, a change in environment helps me stay focused.

What great ideas, Amy! I’m going to use your bag approach. It makes so much sense.

re: daily movement - if you work in an office building/space that has a stairwell, you may have a semi-private 'exercise' area waiting on you.

Depending on how many floors/landings, there may be a landing that has no doors, thus a little space where you can do some squats, wall pushups, etc. Might even be able to integrate the handrails into your movements. Just have to think outside of the box... :)
