Welcome to a new experiment at Sunday Night Success.
I have recently spent a lot of time writing about the idea of shifting perspectives and looking at everything around you as being an environment that has the potential to support or block your success. To help with this perspective shift I thought it would be a good idea to provide a weekly example of something that I consider to be one of my environments, and briefly comment on why I see this environment as being a support or a block.
Let the experiment begin…..
Weekly Environment – 22″ Monitor
Until recently I have been doing all of my writing on my 13″ Macbook, which, for the most part has been a wonderful experience. However, with my recent increase in writing tasks (both my own and my new contract writing work) sitting at my desk and peering down at the 13″ screen was starting to put a strain on both my neck and my eyes.
A quick purchase of a video adapter and a video cable and I attached my Macbook to an old 22″ monitor I had in my office. The positive change to my environment was instant, and my effectiveness as a writer was affected immediately.
No more strained neck or eyes means I can sit and write for longer periods of time, and I now spend more time in the peace and quiet of my office writing instead of sitting on the couch amidst the chaos that only a two year old son can cause.
As an environment my 22″ monitor definitely supports me in being successful.
What is a piece of technology in one of your spaces that is acting as a supportive environment?
