What are you actually doing at your desk and how does it add up to the bigger picture of your life?
IMHO fancy gear and trying to force new habits are only curing symptoms of of a more underlying problem: the tasks you’re doing at your new job are too divorced from what you want to accomplish day-to-day (could also be due to genuine lack of energy which is covered by another comment).
Take some time figure out some goals for yourself if you don’t have any yet, connect the dots between what you have to accomplish in your new job to those goals, then connect the minute tasks you do at your desk to those accomplishments. If you just keep doing work without tying it to something bigger it will definitely be an uphill battle to stay focused on what you must get done.
Though tying your job to your goals is definitely not a silver bullet. There are other tricks to try out after setting your goals that could help, such as using the pomodoro technique.
