This sounds primarily like self-help, and as such is off-topic at CogSci.SE; if you want to rewrite the question to address the more general phenomenon and how it works, that would probably work.  If what you're really interested in, though, is how to use this in your favor, then this might be a better fit for Productivity.SE.

**Background:** Recently I have been doing mathematics a whole lot,and I have noticed that my output varies wildly from many external factors,but mostly it is the enviorment I am working in. Namely one of the most unexpected things is that most my output depends on the quality of pen I am using and kind of notebook I am writing in. Last day I went to buy new notebooks and I laid my eyes upon one with especially distinguishing blue-white color scheme,and in my mind it was already set that it will be notebook I will write abstract algebra into,and truly while using that notebook I feel really motivated, it feels like the color of it and the subject of abstract algebra are intertwined in my brain.

**Questions:**

* What is the phenomena called where features of the work environment such as type of pen or color of paper influence productivity or workplace well-being?
* How can such features be used to improve productivity?
