Who knew it had a name...

Evidently the feeling you get from trying something new (change) has an effect to make you more productive even if it is not the best for the long term.

Think of the New Years resolution you made to be more organized. You went out bought new software and you are using it religiously. You are more productive... then it slowly goes by the wayside. This is evidently the Hawthorne Effect.

Lots of links on google for the Hawthorne Effect. Interesting reading of group dynamics.
