#11 - Keep a neat, organized desk.
MY COMMENT
Having a clean and structured desk/working area is a great way to stay efficient. A desk or working area that is neat and organized will help you stay focused throughout the time you are finishing your work or project. Also, by decluttering, you are creating a different atmosphere and ambiance within your working space, which would help you feel more motivated to stay on track and to finish whatever you are doing.
Now, it's just a matter of actually organizing your desk/working area. If you want to be neat and have that motivation, do it now, don't wait... Intend to clean up your area, then put it into action by actually doing it.
