When you feel stuck, pack up your laptop and head to the park or the corner coffee shop. An environmental shift might be enough to shake things loose.
I did this today, as a matter of fact. My office was not a giving me the energy to fulfill my work, it was draining all my energy instead. I were sitting there, pondering all the things I need to do, trying to find the inspiration to write the reviews, stories and reports I am supposed to deliver. And all I seemed able to do was wasting time on Twitter.
I then decided that I should move over to a new coffee shop I found the other day. I brought my laptop, my phone, went there. I ordered a Chai Latte, read the business newspaper, and then picked up my laptop. And started writing on this series. I probably would have written it sometime anyway, but probably not today, had I not changed my scenery.
What are your experiences of changing scenery? How does it help you do your work? Where is your favorite spot?
