Find something to do or go to a bar. I never got the hatred for slow days at the office, either it's freedom to work on a personal project or some downtime to recover from prior hell.

I did this because I had a psycho micromanager bossā€” the type who only gave assignments at 5pm or Friday afternoons. When I had down time Iā€™d go grab a beer and chill out for a couple of hours- got some of my best ideas that way

Me the past 10 months.

And heā€™s using one of the rooms downstairs as a home office. We bought this house so cannot move in the short term.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
