spring flowersWhen the weather is beautiful outside, it’s hard to head inside to the office every day … even if your office is in your own home. Staying focused on what needs to be done inside can be daunting when just outside the window is a beautiful day.

Give yourself permission to go outside and soak in the delights of a beautiful day each and every day. Go for a walk. Eat lunch at an outdoor café. Take your laptop to a picnic table and work on a project or draft responses to all those emails in your in-box. Better yet, take your whole team out for a brainstorming session in the park. The change of pace and scenery you get by moving your work outside – even for a little while – will spark your creativity and keep you motivated even after you come back indoors.
