For those of you who spend a bit more time on the computer than the average Joe or Jane, things can get pretty mundane at times. Staring at the same computer screen all the time just adds to the “boredom” factor. Booting up your PC brings you the same desktop you always see. Launching your browser brings the same layout over and over again.
It’s nice to spice and change things up a bit, especially of your business is internet based and a bit repetitious. Any kind of change to atmosphere adds a little more excitement and a feeling of freshness to repetitive daily duties. Just a simple change can break up the “tunnel vision” that can occur and avoid getting burned out or bored.
So here are a few ways to bring a little something different to your day:
- Personas with Mozilla Firefox. You can create your own or choose from thousands of different designs submitted by others around the world. I created one with a photo I took while in Hawaii this past summer. Here’s a picture of it. If you like it, click on the picture below and use it or choose a different one!
- Change your Desktop background frequently. In fact, I use it as a goal board. I place pictures of my short and long term goals as well as daily, weekly, monthly and yearly written goals. It’s constantly changing and is a breath or fresh air and a constant reminder of what I want each and every time I boot my PC. I use a program from Macromedia called Fireworks to create my background creatives.
- Install different Themes for your specific operating system. These are easy to find, just type the words “IE themes” or “desktop themes” into your search bar. There are different themes for PC’s and Mac’s alike. You can also change the colors and styles of your windows. On a PC you simply right click on your desktop and you’ll have options to change themes or just the appearance. For those of you who are Mac users, sorry, I’m a PC guy still so I don’t know how you would go about it. Good luck!
- Listen to music. There are a ton of these places on the net but the one I enjoy the most is Pandora.com. It’s an online radio station that you can customize to your liking. I have a Metallica channel and hear a range of jams from them, Megadeth, AC/DC and a few of the bands I listen to. It’s a great counter to listening to music already on your PC and you don’t have to listen to the same songs over and over again. Unless you enjoy that!
So there you have it. Just a few ideas from an internet marketing addict. It’s amazing what a few simple changes can do for your motivation. Remember, enjoying what you do equals more $$$ in the bank. Stay motivated, stay excited and keep things fresh. Every time I look at my Persona, it brings back all the memories I had while in Hawaii. It’s that little extra dose of motivation and it helps….I promise!

Most people who do internet marketing like to see money coming out of their computer.
It’s sad so many never achieve that, but the key is just don’t give up.
Keep learning and don’t give up.
That is the key to success.
Here’s another idea: make your website your landing page for your browser, then change your website background to make it fresh for you and your visitors. We have a saying where I come from. “A change is as good as a rest.”
Well spicing up things on my pc always work for me as it encourages me to sit more upon it. I try to keep a desktop background of my favorite actors so that I come to it again and again.
i enjoyed your blog, thanks for posting.
Yes well said spicing up things on my laptop always motivates me to work more on it. Being tech savvy always requires us to work on pc everyday. So, its very essential the thing you work on must attract you n encourage you to work more.
Nice list of spicing up our computers and web experience. I’ve got FF 3.6.3 and Personas 1.5.3. It works just fine on my computer at home and at work. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it only displays the last page of my favorite personas. It would be nice if it could read all the favorite personas one has. Combined with Personas Rotator it’s great, but only if it could access ALL the damn favorites, not only the latest ones you added.
Well I being a computer addict always wanted to have my earnings made through it. But manier times even I feel sick of the pc and don’t feel like sitting upon it for so long. So, i try to spice it up by having maximum of my favorite songs.
I always like to make my computer more like me by customizing its looks, style and settings. It is easier than you think to reinvent your computer. Each member of my family has his or her own way of personalizing a computer. My father changes his screen saver every time he receives a digital photo from one of his kids by making our smiling faces his new background. My mother-in-law has a train sound each time she receives new mail. I like to change my desktop appearance at least once a month to suit my mood and the season.
