doing these things does take a bit of effort with changing routines, you may not need to change the place, but maybe combine a refresh/reoptimize of your space and a deep clean of some of it, this serves to trigger that unfamiliarity that is part of being able to do a new thing 

 That's a good idea. My place is a mess 

 yeah man, a mission to get it nicer is always good, doesn't have to be perfect or everything but what you do fix, make it shiny
