You may be dedicated to fulfilling your work duties today, which could be due to your work ethic. Perhaps it is the feeling of accomplishment and the knowledge that others can rely on you that motivates you. Limiting distractions as much as possible may make it easier for you to focus on what needs to get done today, and you might try setting aside time that is just devoted to doing your tasks in quiet. Turning off the phone, staying away from the Internet, or simply closing your door to allow for privacy could help you concentrate. Being in a space that is free from diversions can still your mind enough to surrender yourself to the tasks you need to do, which could increase not only your efficiency but also make room for your creativity to flourish.

We are more productive and more likely to reach our goals when we create a space that is calm and free from interruptions, for our external environment has a great impact on our internal thought processes. If our immediate surroundings are peaceful and conducive to focusing on ourselves and our tasks, our minds are more likely to respond in kind. This means that when our mind finds it easier to focus, it will work harder for us. Our work will not only be done well but will also be infused with more interesting and stimulating ideas. By becoming aware of how your environment influences your work today, you will find ways to work more effectively and creatively.
