I go nuts trying to find the right feel, then I find myself writing more because I enjoy it. My additions would be: 1) music player/web radio - I can't live without my iPod. It has podcasts for breaktime, classical music for working, and some pick-me-up stuff for those lull-times. 2) a couple of good books - with varying subjects. Right now I switch between a good fiction novel, Walter Payton's "Never Die Easy", and Zeldman's Web Standards. I find it nice to take a 15-20 minute break, kick back and read one of these depending on my mood. I dig the point you make about the pen.

I use one of these and have still been able to enjoy my hot coffee upto 40 minutes after I made it.

I splurged a little a few months back and picked up a 42" high def plasma for my office. In the mornings I typically ease into my day with <a href="http://dhd.discovery.com/convergence/sunriseearth/sunriseearth.html" rel="nofollow">Sunrise Earth</a> on Discovery HD Theater, followed by a little downtime with Headline News and breakfast, and then the Discovery, History or Science channel on in the background during the day. I use the shows as timers and often find a few minutes to disengage from the web when something interesting pops up. The addition has honestly made my work days far more enjoyable and was a great investment for the use I get out of it. Plus - I've become a master of the trivial knowledge you gain from educational TV. OK, I know a lot of people will disagree with this but a good high-def TV knocks out several items on the list.

I had a run in with those in my early career (and with attorneys too, thank god that's behind me). The timer works best for cases where you have something hanging over your head and you dread the thought of doing it. In my last contract, I had that feeling quite often. I had to review humongously long and dull requirements documents with painstaking (actually painful) attention to detail. The timer was the only thing that saved me. @Associateof Strangeproportion - yes, "fun with feng shui" is a post I have planned. I will be sure to consult your website first!

Interesting idea though. I think I'd end up staring at the timer. I find comfort in pads of paper to log quick notes or re-assemble my constant lists of to-dos or rough task approaches. It's even better if some of the paper is colored, e.g. yellow or blue, which makes them stand out when stacked together with their mainly white colleagues. Must be a hold-over from my 1 year stint with attorneys who insisted on exceedingly organized tabbed and colored briefing books. I generally agree with the items, but never been much for a timer.
