Instead of having your favorite actress don your desktop as the wallpaper or some beautiful city embellishing the monitor you can try something different that will be of more use than mere decoration.
If you are a student try and make the wallpaper a periodic table, quick formulas for math or physics, a few new words in a language that you are trying to master or similar.
If you are working, you can set your goals as the wallpaper or even the to do list which will remind you of the pending works and make you think on how to finish the jobs.
