I don't quite see the connection to control theory, but yes, I've been practicing stimulus hygiene and controlled self-priming by intentionally exposing myself to "desirable" stimuli and limiting exposure to "undesirable" ones (my internal name for this is "prime-steering" -- as opposed to uncontrolled "prime-drift"), and I like the results so far.
(BTW, one of the tricks I found for quickly and cheaply changing my "immediate surroundings" is simply changing my desktop wallpaper.)
Yep - using the wallpaper trick too. Also, forcing myself to go somewhere in the evenings instead of sitting at home pays off a lot.
How do you choose the "somewhere" -- do you have a purpose in mind, or you're just drifting?
The purpose is to stop thinking and start reacting, the necessary ingredients are people and music.
