Here keeping my desk clean and not distracting myself with my own life is keeping me on my toes at work. Thanks for the advise. Yeah, working on implementing GTD, it’s a rather hard shift though.

Thanks for the advise.

It seems that the deeper we get engulfed by a routinary lifestyle, the harder it is to step out of it. If you have the patience, you could always try whatever the current productivity catchphrase or method is (GTD, the Seinfeld technique, etc.) and see if it helps. A safe time investment would be maintaining todo lists and calendars, but anything beyond that becomes unmanageable and tedious, or so I've found out. Organization is key, but don't let it consume you to the point it gets to be a distraction. As for motivation, a new job is always a kick-start. I'm sure you'll get to do many interesting things at your new workplace that'll keep you on your toes and away from monotony. Good luck!
