I've had a serious case of the "f-its." at work in recent weeks. I've been busy, but I've been putting work off until the last possible minute. The other day I had to go out for some fresh air just to give myself a mental break.
How do you motivate/re-motivate yourself during a sluggish work day?

I take a pump break (aka HB break) when I get really stressed and annoyed!

When I was working, I'd get through a sluggish work day by inhaling some coffee and counting the minutes before the day ended. When I was pregnant and working, I would just call a 10-minute break in our classroom. Now that I'm SAHM, a sluggish day (like today! It's so gloomy!) drags on and on...But luckily, gloomy days make for great napping days for LO! I just brewed some coffee and I'm HB-ing through my day!

I usually have to get up and walk away from my desk, refill my water, go to the bathroom, or jsut go outside for some fresh air! I have these at least once a week!

I have those moments quite often and usually how I deal is to get up, refresh my drink and go sit in the conference room (which has a kickass view of Dallas) for a few minutes. Just looking away from the computer helps so much!

I've had a few of those moments lately and its hard because I'm in a classroom of 4 year olds, so I can't just walk out whenever I want. I usually take a deep breath, check out the clock (aka how many hours/minutes I have left), and remind myself WHY I'm teaching (because honestly there are days when I have to remind myself that its about the kids and not the tons of other stuff I'm responsible for).

When I worked I had a million different jobs. One of which was activities director. So if I was having a crappy day, I could go do some arts and crafts with clients or decorate the place for the next holiday. Things that don't really feel like work.

I think that I have these moments on a daily basis. I usually get up, get a drink of water, and take a deep breath. I also check HB and that usually helps!
