"putting up motivational posters"

Seriously?

As stupid and cliche as this sounds, it's kind of right. I have this quote up, and every time I look at it, I get a boost:

"Get action. Do things; be sane, don't fritter away your time; create, act, take a place wherever you are and be somebody; get action."

I have:

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

I have a Disney quote too:

"I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination."

My PC wallpaper says: "Don't be stupid. Do your work".

Straight to the point, just wonderful :)

Motivational posters might work for some people -- I have a Ralph Steadman poster above my desk here ;) .

He's definitely right about having a nice space to work in where you can feel like you can breathe a bit. Comfortable chair, good solid desk, space to put up sticky notes or a whiteboard... Yes even a plant can help make it feel a bit more welcoming.
